[PATCH v3 05/16] fs: afs: correctly drop reference count on mapping failure

Commit 9d5403b1036c ("fs: convert most other generic_file_*mmap() users to
.mmap_prepare()") updated AFS to use the mmap_prepare callback in favour
of the deprecated mmap callback.

However, it did not account for the fact that mmap_prepare is called
pre-merge, and may then be merged, nor that mmap_prepare can fail to map
due to an out of memory error.

Both of those are cases in which we should not be incrementing a reference
count.

With the newly added vm_ops->mapped callback available, we can simply
defer this operation to that callback which is only invoked once the
mapping is successfully in place (but not yet visible to userspace as the
mmap and VMA write locks are held).

Therefore add afs_mapped() to implement this callback for AFS, and remove
the code doing so in afs_mmap_prepare().

Also update afs_vm_open(), afs_vm_close() and afs_vm_map_pages() to be
consistent in how the vnode is accessed.
