autofs: use path_has_submounts() to fix unreliable have_submount() checks
If an automount mount is clone(2)ed into a file system that is propagation private, when it later expires in the originating namespace, subsequent calls to autofs ->d_automount() for that dentry in the original namespace will return ELOOP until the mount is umounted in the cloned namespace. Now that a struct path is available where needed use path_has_submounts() instead of have_submounts() so we don't get false positives when checking if a dentry is a mount point or contains mounts in the current namespace.
