Fix afs_do_lookup() such that when it does an inline bulk status fetch op,
it will update inodes that are already extant (something that afs_iget()
doesn't do) and to cache permits for each inode created (thereby avoiding a
follow up FS.FetchStatus call to determine this).
Extant inodes need looking up in advance so that their cb_break counters
before and after the operation can be compared. To this end, the inode
pointers are cached so that they don't need looking up again after the op.
Fixes: 5cf9dd55a0 ("afs: Prospectively look up extra files when doing a single lookup")

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.
