Subject: [PATCH] 9pfs: fix memory leak in v9fs_xattrcreate

The 'fs.xattr.value' field in V9fsFidState object doesn't consider the
situation that this field has been allocated previously. Every time, it
will be allocated directly. This leads to a host memory leak issue if
the client sends another Txattrcreate message with the same fid number
before the fid from the previous time got clunked.
