Subject: [PATCH 4.15 143/202] afs: Need to clear responded flag in addr cursor

4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>

commit 8305e579c653b127b292fcdce551e930f9560260 upstream.

In afs_select_fileserver(), we need to clear the ->responded flag in the
address list when reusing it.  We should also clear it in
afs_select_current_fileserver().

To this end, just memset() the object before initialising it.

Fixes: d2ddc776a458 ("afs: Overhaul volume and server record caching and fileserver rotation")
