Subject: [PATCH 2/2] AFS: Correctly translate auth error aborts and don't
	failover in such cases

Authentication error abort codes should be translated to appropriate Linux
error codes, rather than all being translated to EREMOTEIO - which indicates
that the server had internal problems.

Additionally, a server shouldn't be marked unavailable and the next server
tried if an authentication error occurs.  This will quickly make all the
servers unavailable to the client.  Instead the error should be returned
straight to the user.
