[PATCH] autofs4 - autofs4_follow_link false negative fix

[Ian Kent]

Hi Andrew,

The check for an empty directory in the autofs4_follow_link method fails 
occassionally due to old dentrys. We had the same problem 
autofs4_revalidate ages ago. I thought we wouldn't need this in 
autofs4_follow_link, silly me.
