Here's the latest.

Subject: Replace pid_t in autofs4 with struct pid reference.

Make autofs4 container-friendly by caching struct pid reference rather
than pid_t and using pid_nr() to retreive a task's pid_t.

ChangeLog:
- Fix Eric Biederman's comments - Use find_get_pid() to hold a
reference to oz_pgrp and release while unmounting; separate out
changes to autofs and autofs4.
- Also rollback my earlier change to autofs_wait_queue (pid and tgid
in the wait queue are just used to write to a userspace daemon's
pipe).
- Fix Cedric's comments: retain old prototype of parse_options()
and move necessary change to its caller.
