Hi Linus,

Here are a set of miscellaneous small fixes to the afs filesystem
including:

 (1) Fix the afs_server_list struct to be cleaned up with RCU.

 (2) Fix afs to translate a no-data result from a DNS lookup into ENOENT,
     not EDESTADDRREQ for consistency with OpenAFS.

 (3) Fix afs to translate a negative DNS lookup result into ENOENT rather
     than EDESTADDRREQ.

 (4) Fix file locking on R/O volumes to operate in local mode as the server
     doesn't handle exclusive locks on such files.

 (5) Set SB_RDONLY on superblocks for RO and Backup volumes so that the VFS
     can see that they're read only.

Btw, I did want to ask about (5): Does a superblock being marked SB_RDONLY
imply immutability to the application?  A 'read only' AFS volume is a snapshot
of a writable volume and can be updated.  It's only read-only in the sense you
can't perform normal filesystem modification ops on it.
