netfs, 9p: Fix race between umount and async request completion
There's a problem in 9p's interaction with netfslib whereby a crash occurs
because the 9p_fid structs get forcibly destroyed during client teardown
(without paying attention to their refcounts) before netfslib has finished
with them.  However, it's not a simple case of deferring the clunking that
p9_fid_put() does as that requires the p9_client record to still be
present.

The problem is that netfslib has to unlock pages and clear the IN_PROGRESS
flag before destroying the objects involved - including the fid - and, in
any case, nothing checks to see if writeback completed barring looking at
the page flags.

Fix this by keeping a count of outstanding I/O requests (of any type) and
waiting for it to quiesce during inode eviction.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
