When allocating and building an afs_server_list struct object from a VLDB record, we look up each server address to get the server record for it - but a server may have more than one entry in the record and we discard the duplicate pointers. Currently, however, when we discard, we only put a server record, not unuse it - but the lookup got as an active-user count. The active-user count on an afs_server_list object determines its lifetime whereas the refcount keeps the memory backing it around. Failing to reduce the active-user counter prevents the record from being cleaned up and can lead to multiple copied being seen - and pointing to deleted afs_cell objects and other such things. Fix this by switching the incorrect 'put' to an 'unuse' instead. Without this, occasionally, a dead server record can be seen in /proc/net/afs/servers and list corruption may be observed: list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffff888102423e40, but was 0000000000000000.
