Marcio Barbosa 3f393cea96 afs: Prioritize removal of unlinked vcaches
On some platforms (such as LINUX), unlinked vcaches are not destroyed
until the next execution of afs_ShakeLooseVCaches(). Since the hash for
a given vcache is computed from its volume id and vnode number, keeping
unlinked vcaches around can be a problem if files are repeatedly deleted
and recreated in the same volume. In this scenario, the same vnode
number will be reused several times, resulting in many vcaches with the
same volume id and vnode number (but different unique ids) in the same
bucket. Consequently, finding a given vcache in the bucket in question
can be time consuming (and cause extra cpu processing), as we would have
to traverse a long linked list.

To mitigate this problem, move vcaches associated with unlinked files to
the least recently used position in our VLRU, prioritizing their removal
the next time afs_ShakeLooseVCaches() is executed.

Introduce the QAddEnd() macro to make it easier to add a vcache to the
end of the VLRU.

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.
