Fix four refcount bugs in afs_cache_permit():
(1) When checking the result of the kzalloc(), we can't just return, but
must put 'permits'.
(2) We shouldn't put permits immediately after hashing a new permit as we
need to keep the pointer stable so that we can check to see if
vnode->permit_cache has changed before we decide whether to assign to
it.
(3) 'permits' is being put twice.
(4) We need to put either the replacement or the thing replaced after the
assignment to vnode->permit_cache.
Without this, lots of the following are seen:
Kernel BUG at ffffffffa039857b [verbose debug info unavailable]
------------[ cut here ]------------
Kernel BUG at ffffffffa039858a [verbose debug info unavailable]
------------[ cut here ]------------
The addresses are in the .text..refcount section of the kafs.ko module.
Following the relocation records for the __ex_table section shows one to be
due to the decrement in afs_put_permits() and the other to be key_get() in
afs_cache_permit().
Occasionally, the following is seen:
refcount_t overflow at afs_cache_permit+0x57d/0x5c0 [kafs] in cc1[562], uid/euid: 0/0

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
