[ Upstream commit 4121b4337146b64560d1e46ebec77196d9287802 ]
David Howells says:
(2) afs_lookup_volume_rcu().
There can be a lot of volumes known by a system. A thousand would
require a 10-step walk and this is drivable by remote operation, so I
think this should probably take a lock on the second pass too.
Make the "seq" counter odd on the 2nd pass, otherwise read_seqbegin_or_lock()
never takes the lock.
