[PATCH] AUTOFS: Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_anon_super()

Make sure all dentries refs are released before calling kill_anon_super() so
that the assumption that generic_shutdown_super() can completely destroy the
dentry tree for there will be no external references holds true.

What was being done in the put_super() superblock op, is now done in the
kill_sb() filesystem op instead, prior to calling kill_anon_super().

This makes the struct autofs_sb_info::root member variable redundant (since
sb->s_root is still available), and so that is removed.  The calls to
shrink_dcache_sb() are also removed since they're also redundant as
shrink_dcache_for_umount() will now be called after the cleanup routine.
