[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 09/12] afs: fix the usage of read_seqbegin_or_lock() in afs_find_server*()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 1702e0654ca9a7bcd7c7619c8a5004db58945b71 ]

David Howells says:

 (5) afs_find_server().

     There could be a lot of servers in the list and each server can have
     multiple addresses, so I think this would be better with an exclusive
     second pass.

     The server list isn't likely to change all that often, but when it does
     change, there's a good chance several servers are going to be
     added/removed one after the other.  Further, this is only going to be
     used for incoming cache management/callback requests from the server,
     which hopefully aren't going to happen too often - but it is remotely
     drivable.

 (6) afs_find_server_by_uuid().

     Similarly to (5), there could be a lot of servers to search through, but
     they are in a tree not a flat list, so it should be faster to process.
     Again, it's not likely to change that often and, again, when it does
     change it's likely to involve multiple changes.  This can be driven
     remotely by an incoming cache management request but is mostly going to
     be driven by setting up or reconfiguring a volume's server list -
     something that also isn't likely to happen often.

Make the "seq" counter odd on the 2nd pass, otherwise read_seqbegin_or_lock()
never takes the lock.
