Subject: [PATCH] 9p: fix fid behavior on failed remove

Fix fid behavior on failed remove.

Based on a bug report from Russ Ross <russruss@...il.com>

According to the spec:

"The remove request asks the file server both to remove the file
 represented by fid and to clunk the fid, even if the remove fails."

but the Linux client seems to expect the fid to be valid after a
failed remove attempt.  Specifically, I'm getting this behavior when
attempting to remove a non-empty directory.
