Linux: Only use automount for volume roots
As long as we avoid using directory aliases when crossing
a mount point (at the volume root), we should always get
to a given non root directory with the same dentry.
The mechanism added by commit
de381aa0 ("Linux: Make dir
dentry aliases act like symlinks") is therefore only really
necessary for a volume root.
With kernel 4.2 it is not possible to tweak the "total link
count", resulting in ELOOP errors when looking up a path
with 40 or more directories that are being looked up for
the first time. With this change, only mountpoints will
count against the limit.
