Hi Linus,

Can you apply this please?

afs: Return -EAGAIN, not -EREMOTEIO, when a file already locked

When trying to get a file lock on an AFS file, the server may return
UAEAGAIN to indicate that the lock is already held.  This is currently
translated by the default path to -EREMOTEIO.  Translate it instead to
-EAGAIN so that we know we can retry it.
