Umm ... oops!

Thanks for looking into this Tomas.

My preference is to put the comment inside the else but ...

There's another question, should the check be done in
autofs_dev_ioctl_openmount() in the same way it's checked in other
ioctls that need a path, such as in autofs_dev_ioctl_requester()
and autofs_dev_ioctl_ismountpoint()?

For consistency I'd say it should.
