Subject: [RESEND 2/2] net/9p: Insulate the client against an invalid error code sent by a 9p server.

A looney tunes server sending an invalid error code (which is !IS_ERR_VALUE)
can result in a client oops. So fix it by adding a check and converting unknown
or invalid error codes to -ESERVERFAULT.
