-Subject: [PATCH] autofs: do not check for modprobe
-
-Description: Loading autofs module is #ifdef'ed in the source, so
- there is no need to check for /proc (which is only used
- to load module) or modprobe.  Both modprobe and /proc
- are always in the fixed location so there's no need to
- check for these to start with.

-Upstream-Status: Backport [1]
