This is passed back to the work_item, passed to the timer or dropped at the end of the dispatcher function. But, at the top of the dispatcher function, there are two checks which skip the rest of the function: if the network namespace is being destroyed or if there are no fileservers to probe. These two return paths, however, do not drop the count passed to the dispatcher, and so, sometimes, the destruction of a network namespace, such as induced by rmmod of the kafs module, may get stuck in afs_purge_servers(), waiting for net->servers_outstanding to become zero. Fix this by adding the missing decrements in afs_fs_probe_dispatcher().
