Fix server list handling in the following ways: (1) In afs_alloc_volume(), remove duplicate server list build code. This was already done by afs_alloc_server_list() which afs_alloc_volume() previously called. This just results in twice as many VL RPCs. (2) In afs_deliver_vl_get_entry_by_name_u(), use the number of server records indicated by ->nServers in the UVLDB record returned by the VL.GetEntryByNameU RPC call rather than scanning all NMAXNSERVERS slots. Unused slots may contain garbage. (3) In afs_alloc_server_list(), don't stop converting a UVLDB record into a server list just because we can't look up one of the servers. Just skip that server and go on to the next. If we can't look up any of the servers then we'll fail at the end. Without this patch, an attempt to view the umich.edu root cell using something like "ls /afs/umich.edu" on a dynamic root (future patch) mount or an autocell mount will result in ENOMEDIUM. The failure is due to kafs not stopping after nServers'worth of records have been read, but then trying to access a server with a garbage UUID and getting an error, which aborts the server list build.
