[ Upstream commit a5fb8e6c02d6a518fb2b1a2b8c2471fa77b69436 ] Fix a leak on the cell refcount in afs_lookup_cell_rcu() due to non-clearance of the default error in the case a NULL cell name is passed and the workstation default cell is used. Also put a bit at the end to make sure we don't leak a cell ref if we're going to be returning an error. This leak results in an assertion like the following when the kafs module is unloaded: AFS: Assertion failed 2 == 1 is false 0x2 == 0x1 is false ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/afs/cell.c:770! ...
