[PATCH] 9p: trans_fd, initialize recv fcall properly if not set

From: Dominique Martinet

That code really should never be called (rc is allocated in
tag_alloc), but if it had been it couldn't have worked...

To be honest, I think it might be better to just bail out if we get in
this switch (m->req->rc == NULL after p9_tag_lookup) and not try to
allocate more, because if we get there it's likely a race condition and
silently re-allocating will end up in more troubles than trying to
recover is worth.
Thoughts ?
