David Howells 3c305aa996 afs: Fix dynamic root lookup DNS check ...

[ Upstream commit 74cef6872c ]

In the afs dynamic root directory, the ->lookup() function does a DNS check
on the cell being asked for and if the DNS upcall reports an error it will
report an error back to userspace (typically ENOENT).

However, if a failed DNS upcall returns a new-style result, it will return
a valid result, with the status field set appropriately to indicate the
type of failure - and in that case, dns_query() doesn't return an error and
we let stat() complete with no error - which can cause confusion in
userspace as subsequent calls that trigger d_automount then fail with
ENOENT.

Fix this by checking the status result from a valid dns_query() and
returning an error if it indicates a failure.
