There's also a P9_NOFID that we shouldn't use, so the max here should be
P9_NOFID - 1

That aside this introduces a change of behaviour that fid used to be
alloc'd linearily from 0 which no longer holds true, that breaks one
serveur (nfs-ganesha just returns ERANGE) but others seem to handle this
just fine so they'll just need to fix that server.
max aside this looks good.
