Subject: 9p: write lock path in v9fs_co_open2()

The assumption that the fid cannot be used by any other operation is
wrong. At least, nothing prevents a misbehaving client to create a
file with a given fid, and to pass this fid to some other operation
at the same time (ie, without waiting for the response to the creation
request). The call to v9fs_path_copy() performed by the worker thread
after the file was created can race with any access to the fid path
performed by some other thread. This causes use-after-free issues that
can be detected by ASAN with a custom 9p client.

Unlike other operations that only read the fid path, v9fs_co_open2()
does modify it. It should hence take the write lock.
