When it's probing all of a fileserver's interfaces to find which one is
best to use, afs_do_probe_fileserver() takes a lock on the server record
and notes the pointer to the address list.
It doesn't, however, pin the address list, so as soon as it drops the
lock, there's nothing to stop the address list from being freed under
us.
Fix this by taking a ref on the address list inside the locked section
and dropping it at the end of the function.

Replace the afs_call::reply[] array with a bunch of typed members so that
the compiler can use type-checking on them. It's also easier for the eye
to see what's going on.

Split the call to afs_wait_for_call_to_complete() from afs_make_call() to
make it easier to handle asynchronous calls and to make it easier to
convert a synchronous call to an asynchronous one in future, for instance
when someone tries to interrupt an operation by pressing Ctrl-C.

This is already done for us internally by the signal machinery.

kAFS can be given certain network errors (EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and
ERFKILL) that it doesn't handle in its server/address rotation algorithms.
They cause the probing and rotation to abort immediately rather than
rotating.
Fix this by:
(1) Abstracting out the error prioritisation from the VL and FS rotation
algorithms into a common function and expand usage into the server
probing code.
When multiple errors are available, this code selects the one we'd
prefer to return.
(2) Add handling for EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and ERFKILL.

Send probes to all the unprobed fileservers in a fileserver list on all
addresses simultaneously in an attempt to find out the fastest route whilst
not getting stuck for 20s on any server or address that we don't get a
reply from.
This alleviates the problem whereby attempting to access a new server can
take a long time because the rotation algorithm ends up rotating through
all servers and addresses until it finds one that responds.
