Add ability to set per-dentry mount expire timeout to autofs. There are two fairly well known automounter map formats, the autofs format and the amd format (more or less System V and Berkley). Some time ago Linux autofs added an amd map format parser that implemented a fair amount of the amd functionality. This was done within the autofs infrastructure and some functionality wasn't implemented because it either didn't make sense or required extra kernel changes. The idea was to restrict changes to be within the existing autofs functionality as much as possible and leave changes with a wider scope to be considered later. One of these changes is implementing the amd options: 1) "unmount", expire this mount according to a timeout (same as the current autofs default). 2) "nounmount", don't expire this mount (same as setting the autofs timeout to 0 except only for this specific mount) . 3) "utimeout=<seconds>", expire this mount using the specified timeout (again same as setting the autofs timeout but only for this mount). To implement these options per-dentry expire timeouts need to be implemented for autofs indirect mounts. This is because all map keys (mounts) for autofs indirect mounts use an expire timeout stored in the autofs mount super block info. structure and all indirect mounts use the same expire timeout. Now I have a request to add the "nounmount" option so I need to add the per-dentry expire handling to the kernel implementation to do this. The implementation uses the trailing path component to identify the mount (and is also used as the autofs map key) which is passed in the autofs_dev_ioctl structure path field. The expire timeout is passed in autofs_dev_ioctl timeout field (well, of the timeout union). If the passed in timeout is equal to -1 the per-dentry timeout and flag are cleared providing for the "unmount" option. If the timeout is greater than or equal to 0 the timeout is set to the value and the flag is also set. If the dentry timeout is 0 the dentry will not expire by timeout which enables the implementation of the "nounmount" option for the specific mount. When the dentry timeout is greater than zero it allows for the implementation of the "utimeout=<seconds>" option.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
