Andrew Deason 002b031d01 rx: Remove delays in multi_End_Ignore
When using our multi_Rx mechanism, callers can use either multi_End or
multi_End_Ignore at the end of the multi_Rx block. Among other things,
these macros run 'rx_EndCall(call, code)' for each call in the
multi_Rx invocation that hasn't already ended. For multi_End, 'code'
is RX_USER_ABORT, and for multi_End_Ignore, 'code' is 0; the macros
are otherwise equivalent.

When multi_End is used, this means any un-ended calls are aborted with
RX_USER_ABORT, and the call immediately ends. But when
multi_End_Ignore is used, the call is not aborted, and so we must wait
for the peer to acknowledge that it has received our packets before
ending (done via an rxi_ReadProc call in rx_EndCall).

This means that if a caller multi_Abort's out of a multi call and uses
multi_End_Ignore, we'll wait for the peer to acknowledge our packets
for all of the calls we haven't processed. Waiting for that is a
complete waste of time, since we don't care about the results of those
calls (since we multi_Abort'd). This doesn't matter much if those
calls are responded to promptly, but if the peer is not up or is just
slow, it can cause us to wait several seconds until we timeout.

There are currently only three users of multi_End_Ignore:

- DoProbe in src/ubik/recovery.c

- MultiBreakCallBackAlternateAddress_r in src/viced/callback.c

- MultiProbeAlternateAddress_r in src/viced/callback.c

All of these use multi_Rx to try and probe multiple IPs for the same
machine in parallel, and so some of the calls may very well be trying
to contact unreachable IPs; we only need one to work for the call to
succeed.

To avoid the unnecessary delays in these codepaths, convert them to
use multi_End. Change multi_End_Ignore to be the same as multi_End,
and multi_Finalize_Ignore to the same as multi_Finalize, to make sure
the bad behavior is not used. The _Ignore macros/functions are now
unused in the tree, but keep them around for now since
multi_Finalize_Ignore is exported by libafsrpc.

Thanks to mbarbosa@sinenomine.net for discovering this weird behavior.

AFS is a distributed file system that enables users to share and
access all of the files stored in a network of computers as easily as
they access the files stored on their local machines. The file system is
called distributed for this exact reason: files can reside on many
different machines, but are available to users on every machine.
