Subject: [PATCH] afs: Fix afs_cb_interest refcnt leak in afs_select_fileserver()

afs_select_fileserver() invokes afs_get_cb_interest(), which returns a
reference of the specified afs_cb_interest object to "fc->cbi" with
increased refcnt.

The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of
afs_select_fileserver(). When error occurred in
afs_wait_for_fs_probes(), the function forgets to decrease the refcnt
increased by afs_get_cb_interest(), causing a refcnt leak.

Fix this issue by calling afs_put_cb_interest() when error occurred in
afs_wait_for_fs_probes().
