Track VL servers as independent entities rather than lumping all their
addresses together into one set and implement server-level rotation by:
(1) Add the concept of a VL server list, where each server has its own
separate address list. This code is similar to the FS server list.
(2) Use the DNS resolver to retrieve a set of servers and their associated
addresses, ports, preference and weight ratings.
(3) In the case of a legacy DNS resolver or an address list given directly
through /proc/net/afs/cells, create a list containing just a dummy
server record and attach all the addresses to that.
(4) Implement a simple rotation policy, for the moment ignoring the
priorities and weights assigned to the servers.
(5) Show the address list through /proc/net/afs/<cell>/vlservers. This
also displays the source and status of the data as indicated by the
upcall.

Access to the list of cells by /proc/net/afs/cells has a couple of
problems:
(1) It should be checking against SEQ_START_TOKEN for the keying the
header line.
(2) It's only holding the RCU read lock, so it can't just walk over the
list without following the proper RCU methods.
Fix these by using an hlist instead of an ordinary list and using the
appropriate accessor functions to follow it with RCU.
Since the code that adds a cell to the list must also necessarily change,
sort the list on insertion whilst we're at it.

->lookup() methods can (and should) use d_splice_alias() instead of
d_add(). Even if they are not going to be hit by open_by_handle(),
code does get copied around...

Alter the dynroot mount so that cells created by manipulation of
/proc/fs/afs/cells and /proc/fs/afs/rootcell and by specification of a root
cell as a module parameter will cause directories for those cells to be
created in the dynamic root superblock for the network namespace[*].
To this end:
(1) Only one dynamic root superblock is now created per network namespace
and this is shared between all attempts to mount it. This makes it
easier to find the superblock to modify.
(2) When a dynamic root superblock is created, the list of cells is walked
and directories created for each cell already defined.
(3) When a new cell is added, if a dynamic root superblock exists, a
directory is created for it.
(4) When a cell is destroyed, the directory is removed.
(5) These directories are created by calling lookup_one_len() on the root
dir which automatically creates them if they don't exist.
[*] Inasmuch as network namespaces are currently supported here.

Split the AFS dynamic root stuff out of the main directory handling file
and into its own file as they share little in common.
The dynamic root code also gets its own dentry and inode ops tables.
