afs: Fix afs_atcell_get_link() to handle RCU pathwalk

The ->get_link() method may be entered under RCU pathwalk conditions (in
which case, the dentry pointer is NULL).  This is not taken account of by
afs_atcell_get_link() and lockdep will complain when it tries to lock an
rwsem.

Fix this by marking net->ws_cell as __rcu and using RCU access macros on it
and by making afs_atcell_get_link() just return a pointer to the name in
RCU pathwalk without taking net->cells_lock or a ref on the cell as RCU
will protect the name storage (the cell is already freed via call_rcu()).

Fixes: 30bca65bbb ("afs: Make /afs/@cell and /afs/.@cell symlinks")
