autofs4: always use lookup for lookup

We need to be able to cope with the directory mutex being held during
->d_revalidate() in some cases, but not all cases, and not necessarily by
us.  Because we need to release the mutex when we call back to the daemon
to do perform a mount we must be sure that it is us who holds the mutex so
we must redirect mount requests to ->lookup() if the mutex is held.
