[PATCH] autofs4: use ACCESS_ONCE rather than rcu_dereference for dentry->d_inode

As the kbuild test robot reports, rcu_dereference() isn't really
appropriate here - we don't need a memory barrier, just a guard
against accidentally dereferencing NULL.

This can be merged into
 autofs4: d_manage() should return -EISDIR when appropriate in rcu-walk mode.
in 'mm'.
