autofs4: d_manage() should return -EISDIR when appropriate in rcu-walk mode.
If rcu-walk mode we don't *have* to return -EISDIR for non-mount-traps as we will simply drop into REF-walk and handling DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT dentrys the slow way. But it is better if we do when possible. In 'oz_mode', use the same condition as ref-walk: if not a mountpoint, then it must be -EISDIR. In regular mode there are most tests needed. Most of them can be performed without taking any spinlocks. If we find a directory that isn't obviously empty, and isn't mounted on, we need to call 'simple_empty()' which does take a spinlock. If this turned out to hurt performance, some other approach could be found to signal when a directory is known to be empty.
