hm, this code hasn't changed in ages (unless someone merged code behind
my back :D)

I had assumed the p9_req_put() in p9_client_cb would protect the tag,
but that doesn't appear to be true -- could you try this patch if this
is reproductible to you?

The tag is actually reclaimed in the woken up p9_client_rpc thread so
that would be a good match (reset in the other thread vs. read here),
caching the value is good enough but that is definitely not obvious...
