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

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

From: David Howells <dhowells at redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 9a6b294ab496650e9f270123730df37030911b55 ]

When an afs_volume struct is put, its refcount is reduced to 0 before
the cell->volume_lock is taken and the volume removed from the
cell->volumes tree.

Unfortunately, this means that the lookup code can race and see a volume
with a zero ref in the tree, resulting in a use-after-free:

    refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
    WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 130782 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0x7a/0xda
    ...
    RIP: 0010:refcount_warn_saturate+0x7a/0xda
    ...
    Call Trace:
     afs_get_volume+0x3d/0x55
     afs_create_volume+0x126/0x1de

     do_syscall_64+0x3a/0x94
     entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x62/0x6a

Fix this by:

 (1) When putting, use a flag to indicate if the volume has been removed
     from the tree and skip the rb_erase if it has.

 (2) When looking up, use a conditional ref increment and if it fails
     because the refcount is 0, replace the node in the tree and set the
     removal flag.
