[PATCH] afs: Fix manually set volume location server list

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Feb 21 2019 - 17:04:37 EST


When a cell with a volume location server list is added manually by echoing
the details into /proc/net/afs/cells, a record is added but the flag saying
it has been looked up isn't set. This causes the VL server rotation code
to wait forever, with the top of /proc/pid/stack looking like:

[<0>] afs_select_vlserver+0x3a6/0x6f3
[<0>] afs_vl_lookup_vldb+0x4b/0x92
[<0>] afs_create_volume+0x25/0x1b9
...

with the thread stuck in afs_start_vl_iteration() waiting for
AFS_CELL_FL_NO_LOOKUP_YET to be cleared.

Fix this by clearing AFS_CELL_FL_NO_LOOKUP_YET when setting up a record if
that record's details were supplied manually.
