Summary
afs: Fix afs_edit_dir_remove() to get, not find, block 0
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

afs: Fix afseditdir_remove() to get, not find, block 0

Fix afseditdirremove() to use afsdirgetblock() to get block 0 rather than afsdirfindblock() as the latter caches the found block in the afsdiriter and may[*] switch out the page it's on if another afsdirfindblock() is done. This parallels what afseditdir_add() does.

[*] There's more than one block per page.
