[PATCH net 5/5] afs: Fix uncancelled rxrpc OOB message handler

Fix AFS to cancel its OOB message processing (typically to respond to
security challenges).  Also move OOB message processing to afs_wq so that
it's also waited for and make the OOB handler just return if the net
namespace is no longer live.

Fixes: 5800b1cf3fd8 ("rxrpc: Allow CHALLENGEs to the passed to the app for a RESPONSE")
