When an afs_volume struct is put, its refcount is reduced to 0 before
the cell->volume_lock is taken and the volume removed from the
cell->volumes tree.
Unfortunately, this means that the lookup code can race and see a volume
with a zero ref in the tree, resulting in a use-after-free:
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

Fix this by:
(1) When putting, use a flag to indicate if the volume has been removed
from the tree and skip the rb_erase if it has.
(2) When looking up, use a conditional ref increment and if it fails
because the refcount is 0, replace the node in the tree and set the
removal flag.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
