autofs: dont trigger mount if it cant succeed
If a mount namespace contains autofs mounts, and they are propagation private, and there is no namespace specific automount daemon to handle possible automounting then attempted path resolution will loop until MAXSYMLINKS is reached before failing causing quite a bit of noise in the log. Add a check for this in autofs ->d_automount() so that the VFS can immediately return an error in this case. Since the mount is propagation private an EPERM return seems most appropriate.
