From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 106bc79843c3c6f4f00753d1f46e54e815f99377 upstream. Fix missing cell comparison in afs_test_super(). Without this, any pair volumes that have the same volume ID will share a superblock, no matter the cell, unless they're in different network namespaces. Normally, most users will only deal with a single cell and so they won't see this. Even if they do look into a second cell, they won't see a problem unless they happen to hit a volume with the same ID as one they've already got mounted.
