afs: Don't cross .backup mountpoint from backup volume
Don't cross a mountpoint that explicitly specifies a backup volume (target is <vol>.backup) when starting from a backup volume. It it not uncommon to mount a volume's backup directly in the volume itself. This can cause tools that are not paying attention to get into a loop mounting the volume onto itself as they attempt to traverse the tree, leading to a variety of problems. This doesn't prevent the general case of loops in a sequence of mountpoints, but addresses a common special case in the same way as other afs clients.
