[PATCH] afs: Fix fileserver probe RTT handling

Hi Linus,

Could you apply this patch, please?

Thanks,
David

The fileserver probing code attempts to work out the best fileserver to use
for a volume by retrieving the RTT calculated by AF_RXRPC for the probe
call sent to each server and comparing them.  Sometimes, however, no RTT
estimate is available and rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt() returns false, leading
good fileservers to be given an RTT of UINT_MAX and thus causing the
rotation algorithm to ignore them.

Fix afs_select_fileserver() to ignore rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt()'s return
value and just take the estimated RTT it provides - which will be capped at
1 second.

Fixes: 1d4adfaf6574 ("rxrpc: Make rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt() indicate validity")
