afs: Implement VL server rotation
Track VL servers as independent entities rather than lumping all their addresses together into one set and implement server-level rotation by: (1) Add the concept of a VL server list, where each server has its own separate address list. This code is similar to the FS server list. (2) Use the DNS resolver to retrieve a set of servers and their associated addresses, ports, preference and weight ratings. (3) In the case of a legacy DNS resolver or an address list given directly through /proc/net/afs/cells, create a list containing just a dummy server record and attach all the addresses to that. (4) Implement a simple rotation policy, for the moment ignoring the priorities and weights assigned to the servers. (5) Show the address list through /proc/net/afs/<cell>/vlservers. This also displays the source and status of the data as indicated by the upcall. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
