autofs got broken in some configurations by commit 13c164b1a1
("autofs: switch to kernel_write") because there is now an extra LSM
permission check done by security_file_permission() in rw_verify_area().
autofs is one if the few places that really does want the much more
limited __kernel_write(), because the write is an internal kernel one
that shouldn't do any user permission checks (it also doesn't need the
file_start_write/file_end_write logic, since it's just a pipe).
There are a couple of other cases like that - accounting, core dumping,
and splice - but autofs stands out because it can be built as a module.
As a result, we need to export this internal __kernel_write() function
again.
We really don't want any other module to use this, but we don't have a
"EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_AUTOFS_ONLY()". But we can mark it GPL-only to at
least approximate that "internal use only" for licensing.
While in this area, make autofs pass in NULL for the file position
pointer, since it's always a pipe, and we now use a NULL file pointer
for streaming file descriptors (see file_ppos() and commit 438ab720c675:
"vfs: pass ppos=NULL to .read()/.write() of FMODE_STREAM files")
This effectively reverts commits 9db9775224 ("fs: unexport
__kernel_write") and 13c164b1a1 ("autofs: switch to kernel_write").
Fixes: 13c164b1a1 ("autofs: switch to kernel_write")

While pipes don't really need sb_writers projection, __kernel_write is an
interface better kept private, and the additional rw_verify_area does not
hurt here.

We don't set "*name" so it's slightly nicer to just pass "name" instead
of "&name".

Nobody appears to be interested in fixing autofs3 bugs
any more and it uses the BKL, which is going away.
Move this to staging for retirement. Unless someone
complains until 2.6.38, we can remove it for good.
The include/linux/auto_fs.h header file is still used
by autofs4, so it remains in place.

Resolve the panic on failed mount of an autofs filesystem originally
reported by Mao Bibo.
It addresses two issues that happen after the mount fail. The first a NULL
pointer reference to a field (pipe) in the autofs superblock info structure
and second the lack of super block cleanup by the autofs and autofs4
modules.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
