Subject: [PATCH 4/6] afs: Fix key refcounting in file locking code

Fix the refcounting of the authentication keys in the file locking code.
The vnode->lock_key member points to a key on which it expects to be
holding a ref, but it isn't always given an extra ref, however.

Fixes: 0fafdc9f888b ("afs: Fix file locking")
