afs: Support the AFS dynamic root

Support the AFS dynamic root which is a pseudo-volume that doesn't connect
to any server resource, but rather is just a root directory that
dynamically creates mountpoint directories where the name of such a
directory is the name of the cell.

Such a mount can be created thus:

mount -t afs none /afs -o dyn

Dynamic root superblocks aren't shared except by bind mounts and
propagation. Cell root volumes can then be mounted by referring to them by
name, e.g.:

ls /afs/grand.central.org/
ls /afs/.grand.central.org/

The kernel will upcall to consult the DNS if the address wasn't supplied
directly.

ASoC: Fixes for v4.15

This is a fairly large set of fixes, they've been delayed partly as more
and more keep coming in. Most of them are very small driver specific
fixes, the biggest individual thing is the revert of the rcar IOMMU
support - it was causing problems and there wasn't the confidence that
it could be resolved sensibly. There's also a relatively large change
in the Freescale SSI controller which resolves some issues with the
AC'97 mode, these aren't that large in the grand scheme of things and
reflect some fairly thorough review and testing.
