[OpenAFS] 1.4.5 namei on solaris 9 sparc requires AlwaysAttach for vice partitions

[Hartmut Reuter]

I also was today surprised when I started the freshly compiled 1.4.5
fileserver on Solaris and it didn't attach any partition.

There was a change between 1.4.4 and 1.4.5 in favour of zfs, but a
unfortunately broken:

         /* Ignore non ufs or non read/write partitions */
         if ((strcmp(mnt.mnt_fstype, "ufs") != 0)
             || (strncmp(mnt.mnt_mntopts, "ro,ignore", 9) == 0))
#else
             (strcmp(mnt.mnt_fstype, "ufs") != 0)
#endif
             || (strncmp(mnt.mnt_mntopts, "ro,ignore", 9) == 0))
             continue;

was changed to

         /* Ignore non ufs or non read/write partitions */
         /* but allow zfs too if we're in the NAMEI environment */
         if (
#ifdef AFS_NAMEI_ENV
             (((!strcmp(mnt.mnt_fstype, "ufs") &&
                 strcmp(mnt.mnt_fstype, "zfs"))))
             || (strncmp(mnt.mnt_mntopts, "ro,ignore", 9) == 0))
                 continue;
         }
#else
             continue;
#endif



The "!" in front of strcmp in the new version lets him exactly ignore
ufs. Just remove it!
