Allow d_manage() to be used in RCU-walk mode

Allow d_manage() to be called from pathwalk when it is in RCU-walk mode as well
as when it is in Ref-walk mode.  This permits __follow_mount_rcu() to call
d_manage() directly.  d_manage() needs a parameter to indicate that it is in
RCU-walk mode as it isn't allowed to sleep if in that mode (but should return
-ECHILD instead).

autofs4_d_manage() can then be set to retain RCU-walk mode if the daemon
accesses it and otherwise request dropping back to ref-walk mode.

held by the caller and the function should not initiate any mounts or
unmounts that it will then wait for.
If the 'rcu_walk' parameter is true, then the caller is doing a
pathwalk in RCU-walk mode. Sleeping is not permitted in this mode,
and the caller can be asked to leave it and call again by returing
-ECHILD.
This function is only used if DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT is set on the
dentry being transited from.
