afs: Fix refcounting in callback registration



[ Upstream commit d4a96bec ]

The refcounting on afs_cb_interest struct objects in
afs_register_server_cb_interest() is wrong as it uses the server list
entry's call back interest pointer without regard for the fact that it
might be replaced at any time and the object thrown away.

Fix this by:

 (1) Put a lock on the afs_server_list struct that can be used to
     mediate access to the callback interest pointers in the servers array.

 (2) Keep a ref on the callback interest that we get from the entry.

 (3) Dropping the old reference held by vnode->cb_interest if we replace
     the pointer.

Fixes: c435ee34 ("afs: Overhaul the callback handling")
