Ian Kent 793a07bef9 autofs: revert "autofs: take more care to not update last_used on path walk" 
commit 43694d4bf8 upstream.

While commit 092a53452b ("autofs: take more care to not update
last_used on path walk") helped (partially) resolve a problem where
automounts were not expiring due to aggressive accesses from user space
it has a side effect for very large environments.

This change helps with the expire problem by making the expire more
aggressive but, for very large environments, that means more mount
requests from clients.  When there are a lot of clients that can mean
fairly significant server load increases.

It turns out I put the last_used in this position to solve this very
problem and failed to update my own thinking of the autofs expire
policy.  So the patch being reverted introduces a regression which
should be fixed.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
