follow_automount(): get rid of dead^Wstillborn code
1) no instances of ->d_automount() have ever made use of the "return
ERR_PTR(-EISDIR) if you don't feel like mounting anything" - that's
a rudiment of plans that got superseded before the thing went into
the tree. Despite the comment in follow_automount(), autofs has
never done that.
2) if there's no ->d_automount() in dentry_operations, filesystems
should not set DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT in the first place. None have
ever done so...
