David Howells a0753c2900 afs: Support RCU pathwalk
Make afs_permission() and afs_d_revalidate() do initial checks in RCU-mode
pathwalk to reduce latency in pathwalk elements that get done multiple
times.  We don't need to query the server unless we've received a
notification from it that something has changed or the callback has
expired.

This requires that we can request a key and check permits under RCU
conditions if we need to.

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.
