[PATCH 6.6 021/142] afs: Fix the server_list to unuse a displaced server rather than putting it

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit add117e48df4788a86a21bd0515833c0a6db1ad1 ]

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)
