[PATCH] 9p: fix segfault caused by race condition in meta-data operations
Running dbench multithreaded exposed a race condition where fid structures
were removed while in use.  This patch adds semaphores to meta-data operations
to protect the fid structure.  Some cleanup of error-case handling in the
inode operations is also included.
