From: Tomas Bortoli <tomasbortoli@gmail.com>

To avoid use-after-free(s), use a refcount to keep track of the
usable references to any instantiated struct p9_req_t.

This commit adds p9_req_put(), p9_req_get() and p9_req_try_get() as
wrappers to kref_put(), kref_get() and kref_get_unless_zero().
These are used by the client and the transports to keep track of
valid requests' references.

p9_free_req() is added back and used as callback by kref_put().

Add SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU as it ensures that the memory freed by
kmem_cache_free() will not be reused for another type until the rcu
synchronisation period is over, so an address gotten under rcu read
lock is safe to inc_ref() without corrupting random memory while
the lock is held.

v3:
 - add req put if virtio zc request fails
 - add req put if cancelled callback is not defined for virtio
 - (incorrectly) add req put in rdma cancelled callback

v4:
 - removed rdma's cancelled callback put again
 - changed the else if no cancelled callback into actually giving virtio
a callback, xen does not need to call put in that case either because
both function rely on tag_lookup to find the request. trans_fd only
needs to put in cancelled because it also keeps the req in a list around
for cancel.
 - add req put for trans xen's request(), I'm not sure why that one was
missing either..

And with that I believe I am done testing all four transports.
I'll do a second round of tests next week just to make sure, but it
should be good enough™
Sorry for the multiple iterations.

Thanks.

I've pushed this with the other patches to my '9p-next' branch, which
will get merged to linux-next today/tomorrow, so they can soak up some
syzbot testing as well.
That doesn't mean they cannot get reviews anymore, so don't be shy!


Tomas, I didn't see you reply about the 'rename req to rreq' requested
patch for trans_fd, but it's trivial so if you're not going to do it I
will submit something around next week.
