autofs4 - fix get_next_positive_dentry()
The initialization condition in fs/autofs4/expire.c:get_next_positive_dentry() appears to be incorrect. If prev == NULL I believe that root should be returned. Further down, at the current dentry check for it being simple_positive() it looks like the d_lock for dentry p should be dropped instead of dentry ret, otherwise when p is assinged to ret we end up with no lock on p and a lost lock on ret, which leads to a deadlock.
