David Howells 51dc411110 afs: Fix the server_list to unuse a displaced server rather than putting it 
[ Upstream commit add117e48d ]

When allocating and building an afs_server_list struct object from a VLDB
record, we look up each server address to get the server record for it -
but a server may have more than one entry in the record and we discard the
duplicate pointers.  Currently, however, when we discard, we only put a
server record, not unuse it - but the lookup got as an active-user count.

The active-user count on an afs_server_list object determines its lifetime
whereas the refcount keeps the memory backing it around.  Failing to reduce
the active-user counter prevents the record from being cleaned up and can
lead to multiple copied being seen - and pointing to deleted afs_cell
objects and other such things.

Fix this by switching the incorrect 'put' to an 'unuse' instead.

Without this, occasionally, a dead server record can be seen in
/proc/net/afs/servers and list corruption may be observed:

    list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffff888102423e40, but was 0000000000000000. (prev=ffff88810140cd38)

README 

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.
