    afs: Fix cell specification to permit an empty address list · ecfe951f
    David Howells authored
    Fix the cell specification mechanism to allow cells to be pre-created
    without having to specify at least one address (the addresses will be
    upcalled for).
    
    This allows the cell information preload service to avoid the need to issue
    loads of DNS lookups during boot to get the addresses for each cell (500+
    lookups for the 'standard' cell list[*]).  The lookups can be done later as
    each cell is accessed through the filesystem.
    
    Also remove the print statement that prints a line every time a new cell is
    added.
    
    [*] There are 144 cells in the list.  Each cell is first looked up for an
        SRV record, and if that fails, for an AFSDB record.  These get a list
        of server names, each of which then has to be looked up to get the
        addresses for that server.  E.g.:
    
    	dig srv _afs3-vlserver._udp.grand.central.org
