+autofs-5.1.9 - fix deadlock in master_notify_submount()
+
+From: Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net>
+
+A deadlock between mnts_remove_submount() and master_notify_submount()
+can occur because master_notify_submount() holds the state mutex over
+a call to mnts_find_submount() which then needs to take mnts_hash_mutex.
+But mnts_remove_submount() takes mnts_hash_mutex and then needs to take
+the state mutex to clear the ->ap field so deadlock cann occur.
+
+But it isn't necessary for master_notify_submount() to take the state
+mutex before calling mnts_find_submount() because if the submount is'
+found a reference is taken on the entry so it won't go away while it's
+being used. All that's needed is to ensure that the ->ap field doesn't
+get set to NULL by mnts_remove_submount() while it's being used to check
+if the submount has shutdown.
