autofs-5.0.4 - expire specific submount only
 
From: Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net>
 
The submount shutdown at expire assumes that certain locks are not
held but when notifying submounts containing nested submounts not
all locks were being released. This leads to occassional deadlock
when child submounts attempt to shutdown.
