afs: Fix afs_atcell_get_link() to handle RCU pathwalk
The ->get_link() method may be entered under RCU pathwalk conditions (in which case, the dentry pointer is NULL). This is not taken account of by afs_atcell_get_link() and lockdep will complain when it tries to lock an rwsem. Fix this by marking net->ws_cell as __rcu and using RCU access macros on it and by making afs_atcell_get_link() just return a pointer to the name in RCU pathwalk without taking net->cells_lock or a ref on the cell as RCU will protect the name storage (the cell is already freed via call_rcu()).
