AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_OPENMOUNT and AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_CLOSEMOUNT
Obtain and release a file descriptor for an autofs managed mount point
path. The open call requires an initialized struct autofs_dev_ioctl with
the path field set and the size field adjusted appropriately as well
-as the arg1 field set to the device number of the autofs mount. The
-device number can be obtained from the mount options shown in
-/proc/mounts. The close call requires an initialized struct

+the autofs mount. The device number can be obtained from the mount options
+shown in /proc/mounts. The close call requires an initialized struct
autofs_dev_ioct with the ioctlfd field set to the descriptor obtained
from the open call. The release of the file descriptor can also be done
with close(2) so any open descriptors will also be closed at process exit.
Return mount and expire result status from user space to the kernel.
