Also spotted was a leak of the same structure further down in the function.

When buf_check_overflow() returns != 0 we will hit kfree(ERR_PTR(err)) and
it will not be happy about it.

The recent 9p commit: bd238fb431 that
supposedly only moved files also introduced a new 9p sysctl interface
that did not properly register it's sysctl binary numbers.
And since it was only for debugging clearly did not need a binary fast
path in any case. So this patch just remove the binary numbers.
See Documentation/sysctl/ctl_unnumbered.txt for more details.
While I was at it I cleaned up the sysctl initializers a little as
well so there is less to read.

umounting partitions after heavy activity would sometimes trigger a
segmentation violation. This fix appears to remove that problem.

If trans->write returns 0, p9_write_work goes through the error path, but
sets the error code to zero.
This patch sets the error code to EREMOTEIO if trans->write returns zero
value.

This patchset moves non-filesystem interfaces of v9fs from fs/9p to net/9p.
It moves the transport, packet marshalling and connection layers to net/9p
leaving only the VFS related files in fs/9p. This work is being done in
preparation for in-kernel 9p servers as well as alternate 9p clients (other
than VFS).
