Subject: [GIT PULL] afs, dns: Fix dynamic root interaction with negative DNS

Hi Linus,

Could you apply this, please?  It's intended to improve the interaction of
arbitrary lookups in the AFS dynamic root that hit DNS lookup failures[1]
where kafs behaves differently from openafs and causes some applications to
fail that aren't expecting that.  Further, negative DNS results aren't
getting removed and are causing failures to persist.

 (1) Always delete unused (particularly negative) dentries as soon as
     possible so that they don't prevent future lookups from retrying.

 (2) Fix the handling of new-style negative DNS lookups in ->lookup() to
     make them return ENOENT so that userspace doesn't get confused when
     stat succeeds but the following open on the looked up file then fails.

 (3) Fix key handling so that DNS lookup results are reclaimed almost as
     soon as they expire rather than sitting round either forever or for an
     additional 5 mins beyond a set expiry time returning EKEYEXPIRED.
     They persist for 1s as /bin/ls will do a second stat call if the first
     fails.

Thanks,
David
