Description Kun Wang 2018-07-10 01:53:09 UTC 
Description of problem:

When testing autofs-5.0.7-92.el7, I found the PID of automount which is very useful for tracking issues no longer exists in the log.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
autofs-5.0.7-92.el7,

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.enable debug log in /etc/autofs.conf
2.start autofs service
3.check log

Actual results:
pid missing (ex:automount: mount_mount: mount(nfs): calling mount -t nfs4......)

Expected results:
print pid (ex:automount[11909]: mount_mount: mount(nfs): calling mount -t nfs4...)
