rxrpc, afs: Allow afs to pin rxrpc_peer objects



Change rxrpc's API such that:

 (1) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer(), is provided to look up an
     rxrpc_peer record for a remote address and a corresponding function,
     rxrpc_kernel_put_peer(), is provided to dispose of it again.

 (2) When setting up a call, the rxrpc_peer object used during a call is
     now passed in rather than being set up by rxrpc_connect_call().  For
     afs, this meenat passing it to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() rather than
     the full address (the service ID then has to be passed in as a
     separate parameter).

 (3) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr(), is added so that afs can
     get a pointer to the transport address for display purposed, and
     another, rxrpc_kernel_remote_srx(), to gain a pointer to the full
     rxrpc address.

 (4) The function to retrieve the RTT from a call, rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt(),
     is then altered to take a peer.  This now returns the RTT or -1 if
     there are insufficient samples.

 (5) Rename rxrpc_kernel_get_peer() to rxrpc_kernel_call_get_peer().

 (6) Provide a new function, rxrpc_kernel_get_peer(), to get a ref on a
     peer the caller already has.

This allows the afs filesystem to pin the rxrpc_peer records that it is
using, allowing faster lookups and pointer comparisons rather than
comparing sockaddr_rxrpc contents.  It also makes it easier to get hold of
the RTT.  The following changes are made to afs:

 (1) The addr_list struct's addrs[] elements now hold a peer struct pointer
     and a service ID rather than a sockaddr_rxrpc.

 (2) When displaying the transport address, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr() is
     used.

 (3) The port arg is removed from afs_alloc_addrlist() since it's always
     overridden.

 (4) afs_merge_fs_addr4() and afs_merge_fs_addr6() do peer lookup and may
     now return an error that must be handled.

 (5) afs_find_server() now takes a peer pointer to specify the address.

 (6) afs_find_server(), afs_compare_fs_alists() and afs_merge_fs_addr[46]{}
     now do peer pointer comparison rather than address comparison.
