If someone attempts to access YFS-related xattrs (e.g. afs.yfs.acl) on a
file on a non-YFS AFS server (such as OpenAFS), then the kernel will jump
to a NULL function pointer because the afs_fetch_acl_operation descriptor
doesn't point to a function for issuing an operation on a non-YFS
server[1].
Fix this by making afs_wait_for_operation() check that the issue_afs_rpc
method is set before jumping to it and setting -ENOTSUPP if not. This fix
also covers other potential operations that also only exist on YFS servers.
afs_xattr_get/set_yfs() then need to translate -ENOTSUPP to -ENODATA as the
former error is internal to the kernel.
The bug shows up as an oops like the following:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
[...]
Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at RIP 0xffffffffffffffd6.
[...]
Call Trace:

This was triggered with "cp -a" which attempts to copy xattrs, including
afs ones, but is easier to reproduce with getfattr, e.g.:
getfattr -d -m ".*" /afs/openafs.org/

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
