hmm, there is no previous "Packet with tag %d has still references"
(sic) message, so this is probably because p9_tag_cleanup only relies on
rcu read lock for consistency, so even if the connection has been closed
above (clnt->trans_mode->close) there could have been a request sent
(= tag added) just before that which isn't visible on the destroying
side?

I guess adding an rcu_barrier() is what makes most sense here to protect
this case?
I'll send a patch in the next few days unless it was a stupid idea.
