[PATCH] 9p: reject RERROR/RLERROR with zero errcode and guard 0-link drop_nlink()

[Hui Peng]

Fix two issues in 9p client and VFS inode handling:

1. In p9_check_errors() (net/9p/client.c), a malicious or buggy 9p
   server returning P9_RERROR or P9_RLERROR with ecode == 0 causes
   p9_check_errors() to return 0 (success) while leaving the unparsed
   response payload as if the expected reply message type succeeded. Map
   ecode == 0 on RERROR / RLERROR to -EPROTO.
2. In v9fs_dec_count() (fs/9p/vfs_inode.c), only call drop_nlink() when
   inode->i_nlink > 0 so unlinking an inode whose server-reported nlink
   was already 0 does not underflow i_nlink and trigger
   WARN_ON(inode->i_nlink == 0).
