autofs: fix directory and symlink access
Depending on how it is configured the autofs user space daemon can leave in use mounts mounted at exit and re-connect to them at start up. But for this to work best the state of the autofs file system needs to be left intact over the restart. Also, at system shutdown, mounts in an autofs file system might be umounted exposing a mount point trigger for which subsequent access can lead to a hang. So recent versions of automount(8) now does its best to set autofs file system mounts catatonic at shutdown. When autofs file system mounts are catatonic it's currently possible to create and remove directories and symlinks which can be a problem at restart, as described above. So return EACCES in the directory, symlink and unlink methods if the autofs file system is catatonic.
