Not enough of an explanation for this patch.

It does:

- move AUTOFS_TYPE_INDIRECT/AUTOFS_TYPE_DIRECT/AUTOFS_TYPE_OFFSET
to include/linux/auto_fs4.h. Obviously okay but should mentioned
in the changelog.
- add a new, unused AUTOFS_TYPE_ANY constant. Why?
- add a new AUTOFS_TYPE_TRIGGER and use it instead of
AUTOFS_TYPE_DIRECT or in one single case
(AUTOFS_TYPE_DIRECT|AUTOFS_TYPE_OFFSET). Definitively needs a good
explanation.
- replaces one use of sbi->type = 0 with AUTOFS_TYPE_INDIRECT (0x0001).
Why?
