Linux 4.10: have_submounts is gone

Linux commit f74e7b33c37e vfs: remove unused have_submounts() function
(v4.10-rc2) removes have_submounts from the tree after providing a
replacement (path_has_submounts) for its last in-tree caller, autofs.

However, it turns out that OpenAFS is better off not using the new
path_has_submounts.  Instead, OpenAFS could/should have stopped using
have_submounts() much earlier, back in Linux v3.18 when d_invalidate
became void.  At that time, most in-tree callers of have_submounts had
already been converted to use check_submounts_and_drop back in v3.12.
At v3.18, a series of commits modified check_submounts_and_drop to
automatically remove child submounts (instead of returning -EBUSY if a
submount was detected), then subsumed it into d_invalidate.  The end
result was that VFS now implicitly handles much of the housekeeping
previously called explicitly by the various filesystem d_revalidate
routines:
- shrink_dcache_parent
- check_submounts_and_drop
- d_drop
- d_invalidate
All in-tree filesystem d_revalidate routines were updated to take
advantage of this new VFS support.

Modify afs_linux_dentry_revalidate to no longer perform any special
handling for invalid dentries when D_INVALIDATE_IS_VOID.  Instead, allow
our VFS caller to properly clean up any invalid dentry when we return 0.
