Ensure that the fid's iounit field is set to zero when a new fid is
created. Certain 9P operations, such as OPEN and CREATE, allow the
server to reply with an iounit size which the client code assigns to the
p9_fid struct shortly after the fid is created by p9_fid_create(). On
the other hand, an XATTRWALK operation doesn't allow for the server to
specify an iounit value. The iounit field of the newly allocated p9_fid
struct remained uninitialized in that case. Depending on allocation
patterns, the iounit value could have been something reasonable that was
carried over from previously freed fids or, in the worst case, could
have been arbitrary values from non-fid related usages of the memory
location.

The bug was detected in the Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) kernel
after the uninitialized iounit field resulted in the typical sequence of
two getxattr(2) syscalls, one to get the size of an xattr and another
after allocating a sufficiently sized buffer to fit the xattr value, to
hit an unexpected ERANGE error in the second call to getxattr(2). An
uninitialized iounit field would sometimes force rsize to be smaller
than the xattr value size in p9_client_read_once() and the 9P server in
WSL refused to chunk up the READ on the attr_fid and, instead, returned
ERANGE to the client. The virtfs server in QEMU seems happy to chunk up
the READ and this problem goes undetected there.

mempool prep commit removed the awkward kref usage which didn't
allow passing client pointer easily with the ref, so we no longer
need a separate function to remove the tag from idr.

This has the side benefit that it should be more robust in detecting
leaks: umount will now properly catch unfreed requests as they still
will be in the idr until the last ref is dropped

An upcoming patch is going to require passing the client through
p9_req_put() -&gt; p9_req_free(), but that's awkward with the kref
indirection - so this patch switches to using refcount_t directly.

This adds a tracepoint event for 9p fid lifecycle tracing: when a fid
is created, its reference count increased/decreased, and freed.
The new 9p_fid_ref tracepoint should help anyone wishing to debug any
fid problem such as missing clunk (destroy) or use-after-free.

I was recently reminded that it is not clear that p9_client_clunk()
was actually just decrementing refcount and clunking only when that
reaches zero: make it clear through a set of helpers.

This will also allow instrumenting refcounting better for debugging
next patch
