Subject: afs: Need to clear responded flag in addr cursor

From: David Howells <[email protected]>

commit 8305e579c653b127b292fcdce551e930f9560260 upstream.

In afs_select_fileserver(), we need to clear the ->responded flag in the address list when reusing it. We should also clear it in afs_select_current_fileserver().

To this end, just memset() the object before initialising it.
