[ Upstream commit adc9613ff66c26ebaff9814973181ac178beb90b ]

If a client's address changes, say if it is NAT'd, this can disrupt an in
progress operation.  For most operations, this is not much of a problem,
but StoreData can be different as some servers modify the target file as
the data comes in, so if a store request is disrupted, the file can get
corrupted on the server.

The problem is that the server doesn't recognise packets that come after
the change of address as belonging to the original client and will bounce
them, either by sending an OUT_OF_SEQUENCE ACK to the apparent new call if
the packet number falls within the initial sequence number window of a call
or by sending an EXCEEDS_WINDOW ACK if it falls outside and then aborting
it.  In both cases, firstPacket will be 1 and previousPacket will be 0 in
the ACK information.

Fix this by the following means:

 (1) If a client call receives an EXCEEDS_WINDOW ACK with firstPacket as 1
     and previousPacket as 0, assume this indicates that the server saw the
     incoming packets from a different peer and thus as a different call.
     Fail the call with error -ENETRESET.

 (2) Also fail the call if a similar OUT_OF_SEQUENCE ACK occurs if the
     first packet has been hard-ACK'd.  If it hasn't been hard-ACK'd, the
     ACK packet will cause it to get retransmitted, so the call will just
     be repeated.

 (3) Make afs_select_fileserver() treat -ENETRESET as a straight fail of
     the operation.

 (4) Prioritise the error code over things like -ECONNRESET as the server
     did actually respond.

 (5) Make writeback treat -ENETRESET as a retryable error and make it
     redirty all the pages involved in a write so that the VM will retry.

Note that there is still a circumstance that I can't easily deal with: if
the operation is fully received and processed by the server, but the reply
is lost due to address change.  There's no way to know if the op happened.
We can examine the server, but a conflicting change could have been made by
a third party - and we can't tell the difference.  In such a case, a
message like:

    kAFS: vnode modified {100058:146266} b7->b8 YFS.StoreData64 (op=2646a)

will be logged to dmesg on the next op to touch the file and the client
will reset the inode state, including invalidating clean parts of the
pagecache.
