Lucho's atomic create+open fix had a bug in the super block initialization
causing all mounts to fail. He was freeing an fcall too early. This patch
fixes that oversight.

In order to assure atomic create+open v9fs stores the open fid produced by
v9fs_vfs_create in the dentry, from where v9fs_file_open retrieves it and
associates it with the open file.
This patch modifies v9fs to use nameidata.intent.open values to do the atomic
create+open.

- remove unnecessary -ENOMEM assignments
- return correct value when buf_check_size for second time in a buffer
- handle failures when create_workqueue and kthread_create are called
- use kzalloc instead of kmalloc/memset 0
- v9fs_str_copy and v9fs_str_compare were buggy, were used only in one
place, correct the logic and move it to the place it is used.

New multiplexer implementation. Decreases the number of kernel threads
required. Better handling when the user process receives a signal.

Fid management cleanup. The patch attempts to fix the races in dentry's
fid management.
Dentries don't keep the opened fids anymore, they are moved to the file
structs. Ideally there should be no more than one fid with fidcreate equal
to zero in the dentry's list of fids.
v9fs_fid_create initializes the important fields (fid, fidcreated) before
v9fs_fid is added to the list. v9fs_fid_lookup returns only fids that are
not created by v9fs_create. v9fs_fid_get_created returns the fid created
by the same process by v9fs_create (if any) and removes it from dentry's
list

If error occurs while in v9fs_get_sb after it calles sget, the dentry object
of the root and its inode may be freed twice -- once while handling the error
in v9fs_get_sb, and second time when v9fs_get_sb calles deactivate_super
(which in turn calls v9fs_kill_super)
The patch removes the unnecessary code that frees the root dentry and its
inode.
