Subject: [PATCH] fs/9p: Prevent parallel rename when doing fid_lookup

During fid lookup we need to make sure that the dentry->d_parent doesn't
change so that we can safely walk the parent dentries. To ensure that
we need to prevent cross directory rename during fid_lookup. Add a
per superblock rename_lock rwlock to prevent parallel fid lookup and rename.
