[PATCH v2 2/3] afs: Add rootcell checks

Add some checks for the validity of the cell name. It's may get put into a
symlink, so preclude it containing any slashes or "..". Also disallow
starting/ending with a dot. This makes /afs/@cell/ as a symlink less of a
security risk.
Also disallow multiple setting of /proc/net/afs/rootcell for any given
network namespace. Once set, the value may not be changed. This makes it
easier to only create /afs/@cell and /afs/. at cell if there's a rootcell.
