[PATCH v2 18/18] autofs: change get_next_positive_dentry() to NOT accept NULL for start-up

From: NeilBrown <[email protected]>

Rather than passing NULL to get_next_positive_dentry() to first time
round, change callers to use a for loop which does the dget() explicitly
to start the loop.

I think this makes the code clearer.  Looking at
get_next_positive_dentry() it isn't immediately obvious what that code
is doing there.
