This crash does not have a reproducer. I cannot test it.

>     afs: Fix afs_dynroot_readdir() to not use the RCU read lock
>     
>     afs_dynroot_readdir() uses the RCU read lock to walk the cell list whilst
>     emitting cell automount entries - but dir_emit() may write to a userspace
>     buffer, thereby causing a fault to occur and waits to happen.
>     
>     Fix afs_dynroot_readdir() to get a shared lock on net->cells_lock instead.
>     
>     Fixes: 1d0b929fc070 ("afs: Change dynroot to create contents on demand")
