Allow d_manage() to be used in RCU-walk mode

Allow d_manage() to be called from pathwalk when it is in RCU-walk mode as well
as when it is in Ref-walk mode.  This permits __follow_mount_rcu() to call
d_manage() directly.  d_manage() needs a parameter to indicate that it is in
RCU-walk mode as it isn't allowed to sleep if in that mode (but should return
-ECHILD instead).

autofs4_d_manage() can then be set to retain RCU-walk mode if the daemon
accesses it and otherwise request dropping back to ref-walk mode.
