Don't use the running state for VL server probes to make decisions about
which server to use as the state is cleared at the start of a probe and
intermediate values might also be misleading.

Instead, add a separate 'latest known' rtt in the afs_vlserver struct and a
flag to indicate if the server is known to be responding and update these
as and when we know what to change them to.

<title>afs: Reorganise volume and server trees to be rooted on the cell</title>

<content type='text'>
Reorganise afs_volume objects such that they're in a tree keyed on volume
ID, rooted at on an afs_cell object rather than being in multiple trees,
each of which is rooted on an afs_server object.

afs_server structs become per-cell and acquire a pointer to the cell.

The process of breaking a callback then starts with finding the server by
its network address, following that to the cell and then looking up each
volume ID in the volume tree.

This is simpler than the afs_vol_interest/afs_cb_interest N:M mapping web
and allows those structs and the code for maintaining them to be simplified
or removed.

It does make a couple of things a bit more tricky, though:

 (1) Operations now start with a volume, not a server, so there can be more
     than one answer as to whether or not the server we'll end up using
     supports the FS.InlineBulkStatus RPC.

 (2) CB RPC operations that specify the server UUID.  There's still a tree
     of servers by UUID on the afs_net struct, but the UUIDs in it aren't
     guaranteed unique.

<title>afs: Detect cell aliases 1 - Cells with root volumes</title>

<id>8a070a964877c71139cba46202f6f263c2b9419d</id>
<content type='text'>
Put in the first phase of cell alias detection.  This part handles alias
detection for cells that have root.cell volumes (which is expected to be
likely).

When a cell becomes newly active, it is probed for its root.cell volume,
and if it has one, this volume is compared against other root.cell volumes
to find out if the list of fileserver UUIDs have any in common - and if
that's the case, do the address lists of those fileservers have any
addresses in common.  If they do, the new cell is adjudged to be an alias
of the old cell and the old cell is used instead.

Comparing is aided by the server list in struct afs_server_list being
sorted in UUID order and the addresses in the fileserver address lists
being sorted in address order.

The cell then retains the afs_volume object for the root.cell volume, even
if it's not mounted for future alias checking.

This necessary because:

 (1) Whilst fileservers have UUIDs that are meant to be globally unique, in
     practice they are not because cells get cloned without changing the
     UUIDs - so afs_server records need to be per cell.

 (2) Sometimes the DNS is used to make cell aliases - but if we don't know
     they're the same, we may end up with multiple superblocks and multiple
     afs_server records for the same thing, impairing our ability to
     deliver callback notifications of third party changes

 (3) The fileserver RPC API doesn't contain the cell name, so it can't tell
     us which cell it's notifying and can't see that a change made to to
     one cell should notify the same client that's also accessed as the
     other cell.

<title>afs: Split the usage count on struct afs_server</title>

<id>977e5f8ed0ab2786755f8d2a96b78a3c7320f7c4</id>
<content type='text'>
Split the usage count on the afs_server struct to have an active count that
registers who's actually using it separately from the reference count on
the object.

This allows a future patch to dispatch polling probes without advancing the
"unuse" time into the future each time we emit a probe, which would
otherwise prevent unused server records from expiring.

Included in this:

 (1) The latter part of afs_destroy_server() in which the RCU destruction
     of afs_server objects is invoked and the outstanding server count is
     decremented is split out into __afs_put_server().

 (2) afs_put_server() now calls __afs_put_server() rather then setting the
     management timer.

 (3) The calls begun by afs_fs_give_up_all_callbacks() and
     afs_fs_get_capabilities() can now take a ref on the server record, so
     afs_destroy_server() can just drop its ref and needn't wait for the
     completion of these calls.  They'll put the ref when they're done.

 (4) Because of (3), afs_fs_probe_done() no longer needs to wake up
     afs_destroy_server() with server-&gt;probe_outstanding.

 (5) afs_gc_servers can be simplified.  It only needs to check if
     server-&gt;active is 0 rather than playing games with the refcount.

 (6) afs_manage_servers() can propose a server for gc if usage == 0 rather
     than if ref == 1.  The gc is effected by (5).
