Subject: [093/244] fs/9p: Add fid before dentry instantiation

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 5441ae5eb3614d3c28f77073370738a2820c88e4 upstream.

d_instantiate marks the dentry positive. So a parallel lookup and mkdir of
the directory can find dentry that doesn't have fid attached. This can result
in both the code path doing v9fs_fid_add which results in v9fs_dentry leak.
