From: David Howells <dhowells at redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit fc10c0ecf06f2981af5d04357612b00051e03e9e ]
Fix a leak of the new vllist in afs_update_cell() in the event that it is an
empty list (nr_servers == 0), in which case the old list isn't displaced
unless the old list is also empty.
Fixes: d5c32c89b208 ("afs: Fix cell DNS lookup")
