The vfsmount_lock is a "local-global" lock, where a read-lock is
rather cheap and takes just a per-cpu lock, but the downside is that a
write-lock is *very* expensive, and can cause serious trouble.
And the write lock is taken by the [un]mount() paths. Do *not* do
crazy things. If you do some insane "unmount and remount autofs" on a
1s granularity, you're doing insane things.
Why do you have that 1s timeout? Insane.
