Subject: [PATCH 4.16 250/279] afs: Fix server rotations handling of fileserver probe failure

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

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

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

[ Upstream commit ec5a3b4b507efca903d848518dcf2ebf7b04b466 ]

The server rotation algorithm just gives up if it fails to probe a
fileserver.  Fix this by rotating to the next fileserver instead.

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