The afs_read objects created by afs_req_issue_op() get leaked because
afs_alloc_read() returns a ref and then afs_fetch_data() gets its own ref
which is released when the operation completes, but the initial ref is
never released.
Fix this by discarding the initial ref at the end of afs_req_issue_op().
This leak also covered another bug whereby a ref isn't got on the key
attached to the read record by afs_req_issue_op(). This isn't a problem as
long as the afs_read req never goes away...
Fix this by calling key_get() in afs_req_issue_op().
This was found by the generic/074 test. It leaks a bunch of kmalloc-192
objects each time it is run, which can be observed by watching
/proc/slabinfo.

README
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.
