[PATCH] afs: Fix storage of cell names

From: David Howells
Date: Wed Jun 24 2020 - 12:00:34 EST


The cell name stored in the afs_cell struct is a 64-char + NUL buffer -
when it needs to be able to handle up to AFS_MAXCELLNAME (256 chars) + NUL.

Fix this by changing the array to a pointer and allocating the string.

Found using Coverity.
