    autofs4 - remove ioctl mutex (bz23142) · de47de74

    With the recent changes to remove the BKL a mutex was added to the
    ioctl entry point for calls to the old ioctl interface. This mutex
    needs to be removed because of the need for the expire ioctl to call
    back to the daemon to perform a umount and receive a completion
    status (via another ioctl).
    
    This should be fine as the new ioctl interface uses much of the same
    code and it has been used without a mutex for around a year without
    issue, as was the original intention.
