[PATCH] net/9p/trans_fd.c: fix race by holding the lock

From: Tomas Bortoli
Date: Mon Jul 23 2018 - 14:43:19 EST


It may be possible to run p9_fd_cancel() with a deleted req->req_list
and incur in a double del. To fix hold the client->lock while changing
the status, so the other threads will be synchronized.
