    Fix server list handling in the following ways:
    
     (1) In afs_alloc_volume(), remove duplicate server list build code.  This
         was already done by afs_alloc_server_list() which afs_alloc_volume()
         previously called.  This just results in twice as many VL RPCs.
    
     (2) In afs_deliver_vl_get_entry_by_name_u(), use the number of server
         records indicated by ->nServers in the UVLDB record returned by the
         VL.GetEntryByNameU RPC call rather than scanning all NMAXNSERVERS
         slots.  Unused slots may contain garbage.
    
     (3) In afs_alloc_server_list(), don't stop converting a UVLDB record into
         a server list just because we can't look up one of the servers.  Just
         skip that server and go on to the next.  If we can't look up any of
         the servers then we'll fail at the end.
    
    Without this patch, an attempt to view the umich.edu root cell using
    something like "ls /afs/umich.edu" on a dynamic root (future patch) mount
    or an autocell mount will result in ENOMEDIUM.  The failure is due to kafs
    not stopping after nServers'worth of records have been read, but then
    trying to access a server with a garbage UUID and getting an error, which
    aborts the server list build.
