[PATCH 27/45] AFS: prevent double cell registration [ver #35]

[David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>]

From: Sven Schnelle <svens@stackframe.org>

kafs doesn't check if the cell already exists - so if you do an
echo "add newcell.org 1.2.3.4" >/proc/fs/afs/cells it will try to
create this cell again. kobject will also complain about a double
registration. To prevent such problems, return -EEXIST in that case.
