When p9pdu_readf() is called with "s?d" attribute, it allocates a pointer
that will store a string. But when p9pdu_readf() fails while handling "d"
then this pointer will not be freed in p9_check_errors().

Use an empty string instead of :
 - this is ok 9p-wise because p9pdu_vwritef serializes a null string
and an empty string the same way (one '0' word for length)
 - since this degrades the print statements, add new single quotes for
xattr's name delimter (Old: "file = (null)", new: "file = ''")

<title>9p: remove dead stores (variable set again without being read)</title>

<id>cf7c33d332ab67603f159123b691c61270b14c33</id>
<content type='text'>
The 9p code for some reason used to initialize variables outside of the
declaration, e.g. instead of just initializing the variable like this:

int retval = 0

We would be doing this:

int retval;
retval = 0;

This is perfectly fine and the compiler will just optimize dead stores
anyway, but scan-build seems to think this is a problem and there are
many of these warnings making the output of scan-build full of such
warnings:
fs/9p/vfs_inode.c:916:2: warning: Value stored to 'retval' is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
        retval = 0;
        ^        ~

I have no strong opinion here, but if we want to regularly run
scan-build we should fix these just to silence the messages.

I've confirmed these all are indeed ok to remove.

KCSAN reported a race between writing req-&gt;status in p9_client_cb and
accessing it in p9_client_rpc's wait_event.

Accesses to req itself is protected by the data barrier (writing req
fields, write barrier, writing status // reading status, read barrier,
reading other req fields), but status accesses themselves apparently
also must be annotated properly with WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE when we
access it without locks.

Follows:
 - error paths writing status in various threads all can notify
p9_client_rpc, so these all also need WRITE_ONCE
 - there's a similar read loop in trans_virtio for zc case that also
needs READ_ONCE
 - other reads in trans_fd should be protected by the trans_fd lock and
lists state machine, as corresponding writers all are within trans_fd
and should be under the same lock. If KCSAN complains on them we likely
will have something else to fix as well, so it's better to leave them
unmarked and look again if required.

<content type='text'>
Since commit 60ece0833b6c ("net/9p: allocate appropriate reduced message
buffers") it is no longer appropriate to check server's response size
against msize. Check against the previously allocated buffer capacity
instead.

- Omit this size check entirely for zero-copy messages, as those always
  allocate 4k (P9_ZC_HDR_SZ) linear buffers which are not used for actual
  payload and can be much bigger than 4k.

- Replace p9_debug() by pr_err() to make sure this message is always
  printed in case this error is triggered.

- Add 9p message type to error message to ease investigation.

Add boolean `zc` member to struct p9_fcall to distinguish zero-copy
messages (not using the linear `sdata` buffer for message payload) from
regular messages (which do copy message payload to `sdata` before being
further processed).

This new member is appended to end of structure to avoid inserting huge
padding in generated layout.
