cifs - check S_AUTOMOUNT in revalidate
When revalidating a dentry, if the inode wasn't known to be a dfs entry when the dentry was instantiated, such as when created via ->readdir(), the DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT flag needs to be set on the dentry in ->d_revalidate(). The false return from cifs_d_revalidate(), due to the inode now being marked with the S_AUTOMOUNT flag, might not invalidate the dentry if there is a concurrent unlazy path walk. This is because the dentry reference count will be at least 2 in this case causing d_invalidate() to return EBUSY. So the asumption that the dentry will be discarded then correctly instantiated via ->lookup() might not hold.
