AFS: Stop readlink() on AFS crashing due to NULL 'file' ptr
kAFS crashes when asked to read a symbolic link because page_getlink() passes a NULL file pointer to read_mapping_page(), but afs_readpage() expects a file pointer from which to extract a key. Modify afs_readpage() to request the appropriate key from the calling process's keyrings if a file struct is not supplied with one attached.
