[OpenAFS] rpms on Red Hat 6.2 SMP systems

The particular change that is causing this behavior is a delta applied
to afs/afs_osi.c that changed afs_osi_proc2cred() under Linux.  My
guess is that for some reason the tasklist_lock symbol is not properly
available.

What do you get from this command on your 2.2.19-6.2.16 SMP kernel:

        grep tasklist_lock /proc/ksyms
