David Howells f8de483e74 afs: Properly reset afs_vnode (inode) fields
When an AFS inode is allocated by afs_alloc_inode(), the allocated
afs_vnode struct isn't necessarily reset from the last time it was used as
an inode because the slab constructor is only invoked once when the memory
is obtained from the page allocator.

This means that information can leak from one inode to the next because
we're not calling kmem_cache_zalloc().  Some of the information isn't
reset, in particular the permit cache pointer.

Bring the clearances up to date.

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.
