ls -l triggers mount of autofs shares when --ghost option is present or browse_mode is enabled

Description of problem:

Autofs mounts with --ghost or browse_mode=yes enabled, triggers a mount or shows error "ls: cannot access 'XXXX': No such file or directory" when ls -l is run

Either errors are seen for mount points which we know are inaccessible for this client or
a mount is triggered for accessible mounts.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
autofs-5.1.4-74.el8.x86_64
coreutils-8.30-12.el8.x86_64

(however, I am starting the bug with autofs as affected component as discussed with Ian)

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Upgrade to RHEL 8.5 (which should have autofs-5.1.4-74.el8.x86_64 and coreutils-8.30-12.el8.x86_64)
2. Create an autofs map :
~~~
[root@rsablerhel85 mnt2]# grep -i mnt /etc/auto.master
/mnt2 /etc/auto.indirect timeout=600,bg,tcp,hard,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=600,retrans=6

[root@rsablerhel85 mnt2]# cat /etc/auto.indirect
testshare rsable76server:/testshare <<<<< testshare is a valid export from server
testshare2 rsable76server:/testshare2 <<<<< testshare2 is not available to this client or could be a bogus entry
~~~
3. Either use --ghost in auto.master as an option or set browse_mode=yes :
~~~
[root@rsablerhel85 mnt2]# grep -i browse /etc/autofs.conf
# browse_mode - maps are browsable by default.
browse_mode = yes
~~~
4. Cd to /mnt2 and run ls -l / ll.

Note : this issue occurs irrespective of direct or indirect maps.

Actual results:

Mount is triggered and ll throws ENOENT for testshare2
~~~
[root@rsablerhel85 mnt2]# ll
ls: cannot access 'testshare2': No such file or directory <<<<< Error
total 0
drwxrwxrwx. 3 1000 1000 15 Jan 17 12:08 testshare <<<<< mount is triggerd for testshare
d?????????? ? ? ? ? ? testshare2 <<<<< Path we know that is inaccessible throws an error

[root@rsablerhel85 mnt2]# mount | grep -i test
rsable76server:/testshare on /mnt2/testshare type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=6,sec=sys,mountaddr=192.168.122.58,mountvers=3,mountport=20048,mountproto=tcp,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.122.58)
~~~

Expected results:
Mount should not be trigger and error "ls: cannot access 'testshare2': No such file or directory"
should not be seen.

Additional info:

I think the issue is with a behavior change in coreutils-common-8.30-12.el8.
Reverting back to coreutils-common-8.30-8.el8 this issue goes away :
~~~
[root@rsablerhel85 mnt2]# ll
ls: cannot access 'testshare2': No such file or directory
total 0
drwxrwxrwx. 3 1000 1000 15 Jan 17 12:08 testshare
d?????????? ? ? ? ? ? testshare2

[root@rsablerhel85 mnt2]# dnf downgrade coreutils-8.30-8.el8.x86_64
Downgraded:
  coreutils-8.30-8.el8.x86_64 coreutils-common-8.30-8.el8.x86_64

Complete!

drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Jan 21 11:47 testshare2
~~~

I can see that coreutils-common-8.30-12.el8 calls statx while coreutils-common-8.30-8.el8 calls lstat :

Given our earlier conversation it probably won't but it's worth trying it.

As you suspected, this _does not_ resolve the issue :
