[PATCH 4/8] fs/9p: One function call less in v9fs_fid_xattr_get() after error detection

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2014 09:05:25 +0100

The p9_client_clunk() function was called in one case by the
v9fs_fid_xattr_get() function during error handling even if the passed
variable "attr_fid" contained a null pointer.

Let us delete an unnecessary variable assignment there and return from
this implementation directly after a failure detection for
a p9_client_xattrwalk() call.
