[PATCH] afs: Fix unpinned address list during probing

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Mar 26 2020 - 11:24:20 EST


When it's probing all of a fileserver's interfaces to find which one is
best to use, afs_do_probe_fileserver() takes a lock on the server record
and notes the pointer to the address list. It doesn't, however, pin the
address list, so as soon as it drops the lock, there's nothing to stop the
address list from being freed under us.

Fix this by taking a ref on the address list inside the locked section and
dropping it at the end of the function.

Fixes: 3bf0fb6f33dd ("afs: Probe multiple fileservers simultaneously")
