afs: Fix possible infinite loop with unresponsive servers
A return code of 0 from afs_wait_for_one_fs_probe is an indication
that the endpoint state attached to the operation is stale and has
been superseded. In that case the iteration needs to be restarted
so that the newer probe result state gets used.
Failure to do so can result in an tight infinite loop around the
iterate_address label, where all addresses are thought to be responsive
and have been tried, with nothing to refresh the enpoint state.
[DH: Changed the priority of the returns from afs_wait_for_one_fs_probe(),
Made the first caller iterate the address if 1 is returned, refetch the
database records and begin again from the beginning if 0 is returned and
otherwise deal with an error. Altered the second caller to also handle the
"1" return.
