AFS server records get removed from the net->fs_servers tree when
they're deleted, but not from the net->fs_addresses{4,6} lists, which
can lead to an oops in afs_find_server() when a server record has been
removed, for instance during rmmod.
Fix this by deleting the record from the by-address lists before posting
it for RCU destruction.
The reason this hasn't been noticed before is that the fileserver keeps
probing the local cache manager, thereby keeping the service record
alive, so the oops would only happen when a fileserver eventually gets
bored and stops pinging or if the module gets rmmod'd and a call comes
in from the fileserver during the window between the server records
being destroyed and the socket being closed.
The oops looks something like:

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.
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.
