David Howells 286377f6bd afs: Fix cell purging with aliases
When the afs module is removed, one of the things that has to be done is to
purge the cell database.  afs_cell_purge() cancels the management timer and
then starts the cell manager work item to do the purging.  This does a
single run through and then assumes that all cells are now purged - but
this is no longer the case.

With the introduction of alias detection, a later cell in the database can
now be holding an active count on an earlier cell (cell->alias_of).  The
purge scan passes by the earlier cell first, but this can't be got rid of
until it has discarded the alias.  Ordinarily, afs_unuse_cell() would
handle this by setting the management timer to trigger another pass - but
afs_set_cell_timer() doesn't do anything if the namespace is being removed
(net->live == false).  rmmod then hangs in the wait on cells_outstanding in
afs_cell_purge().

Fix this by making afs_set_cell_timer() directly queue the cell manager if
net->live is false.  This causes additional management passes.

Queueing the cell manager increments cells_outstanding to make sure the
wait won't complete until all cells are destroyed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
