Description: | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: Fix endless loop in directory parsing If a directory has a block
with only ".__afsXXXX" files in it (from uncompleted silly-rename),
these .__afsXXXX files are skipped but without advancing the file
position in the dir_context. This leads to afs_dir_iterate() repeating
the block again and again. Fix this by making the code that skips the
.__afsXXXX file also manually advance the file position. The symptoms
are a soft lookup: watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 52s!
