[OpenAFS] RedHat7.2

[Derek Atkins]

This is a bug in the README, as has been mentioned previously on this
list.  The README will be fixed for the upcoming 1.2.4 release.  You
really want "afsmodname -x".  Run afsmodname -h for its list of
functions.

Note that the rc script should default to the uname-style module name
if the SymTable lookup fails.
