Good point, I checked the variables p9_client_destroy cares about get
initialized but kzalloc is safer, let's switch that as well.

It won't fix the inconsistent locking ones, but should take care of
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/000000000000cad57405e5b5dbb7@google.com

ffff888026be2c18 (&clnt->lock){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: p9_conn_cancel+0xaa/0x970 net/9p/trans_fd.c:192
holding the lock in that function, calling
p9_client_cb itself calling p9_req_put and locking again when refcount
hits 0.

And that one has a reproducer, so syzbot will confirm if it helps when I
get around to pushing it (probably this weekend) :)
