afs: Fix ignored callbacks over ipv4

When searching for a matching peer, all addresses need to be searched,
not just the ipv6 ones in the fs_addresses6 list.

Given that the lists no longer contain addresses, there is little
reason to splitting things between separate lists, so unify them
into a single list.

When processing an incoming callback from an ipv4 address, this would
lead to a failure to set call->server, resulting in the callback being
ignored and the client seeing stale contents.

Pull afs updates from David Howells:
"The majority of the patches are aimed at fixing and improving the AFS
filesystem's rotation over server IP addresses, but there are also
some fixes from Oleg Nesterov for the use of read_seqbegin_or_lock().

- Fix fileserver probe handling so that the next round of probes
doesn't break ongoing server/address rotation by clearing all the
probe result tracking. This could occasionally cause the rotation
algorithm to drop straight through, give a 'successful' result
without actually emitting any RPC calls, leaving the reply buffer
in an undefined state.

Instead, detach the probe results into a separate struct and
allocate a new one each time we start probing and update the
pointer to it. Probes are also sent in order of address preference
to try and improve the chance that the preferred one will complete
first.

- Fix server rotation so that it uses configurable address
preferences across on the probes that have completed so far than
ranking them by RTT as the latter doesn't necessarily give the best
route. The preference list can be altered by writing into
/proc/net/afs/addr_prefs.

- Fix the handling of Read-Only (and Backup) volume callbacks as
there is one per volume, not one per file, so if someone performs a
command that, say, offlines the volume but doesn't change it, when
it comes back online we don't spam the server with a status fetch
for every vnode we're using. Instead, check the Creation timestamp
in the VolSync record when prompted by a callback break.

- Handle volume regression (ie. a RW volume being restored from a
backup) by scrubbing all cache data for that volume. This is
detected from the VolSync creation timestamp.

- Adjust abort handling and abort -> error mapping to match better
with what other AFS clients do.

- Fix offline and busy volume state handling as they only apply to
individual server instances and not entire volumes and the rotation
algorithm should go and look at other servers if available. Also
make it sleep briefly before each retry if all the volume instances
are unavailable"

afs: Provide a way to configure address priorities

AFS servers may have multiple addresses, but the client can't easily judge
between them as to which one is best. For instance, an address that has a
larger RTT might actually have a better bandwidth because it goes through a
switch rather than being directly connected - but we can't work this out
dynamically unless we push through sufficient data that we can measure it.

To allow the administrator to configure this, add a list of preference
weightings for server addresses by IPv4/IPv6 address or subnet and allow
this to be viewed through a procfile and altered by writing text commands
to that same file. Preference rules can be added/updated by:

echo "add <proto> <addr>[/<subnet>] <prior>" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs
echo "add udp 1.2.3.4 1000" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs
echo "add udp 192.168.0.0/16 3000" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs
echo "add udp 1001:2002:0:6::/64 4000" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs

and removed by:

echo "del <proto> <addr>[/<subnet>]" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs
echo "del udp 1.2.3.4" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs

where the priority is a number between 0 and 65535.

The list is split between IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and each sublist is kept
in numerical order, with rules that would otherwise match but have
different subnet masking being ordered with the most specific submatch
first.

A subsequent patch will apply these rules.

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture

The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.

None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.

While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.

There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.

So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.
