Subject: [PATCH] fs/9p/: don't treat error as status value in file locking

When trying to lock a file we didn't properly handle the case where a
failure in p9_client_lock_dotl() occurs and treated the status value
as valid instead of discarding it due to the error.

This would usually trigger a BUG() since the status value would
just be stack garbage.
