Latchesar Ionkov 6a3124a394 [PATCH] v9fs: fix atomic create open
In order to assure atomic create+open v9fs stores the open fid produced by
v9fs_vfs_create in the dentry, from where v9fs_file_open retrieves it and
associates it with the open file.

This patch modifies v9fs to use nameidata.intent.open values to do the atomic
create+open.
