Since the kthread api does not bump the reference count on
processes that tracked it is not safe allow user space to
kill the threads, as I still retain a pointer to the task_struct.

There is a simple logic error in init_v9fs - the return code checks are
reversed. This patch fixes the return code and adds some messages to prevent
module initialization from failing silently.

If a signal interrupts the user process, v9fs sends a flush request to the
file server and waits for its response. It error code is incorrectly set
to the error code of the flush message instead of ERESTARTSYS. The patch
sets the error code to the correct value.

Multiple races can happen when v9fs is interrupted by a signal and Tflush
message is sent to the server. After v9fs sends Tflush it doesn't wait
until it receives Rflush, and possibly the response of the original
message. This behavior may confuse v9fs what fids are allocated by the
file server.
This patch fixes the races and the fid allocation.

When v9fs_mux_rpc sends a 9P message, it may be put in the queue of unsent
request. If the user process receives a signal, v9fs_mux_rpc sets the
request error to ERREQFLUSH and assigns NULL to request's send message. If
the message was still in the unsent queue, v9fs_write_work would produce an
oops while processing it.
The patch makes sure that requests that are being flushed are moved to the
pending requests queue safely.
If a request is being flushed, don't remove it from the list of pending
requests even if it receives a reply before the flush is acknoledged. The
request will be removed during from the Rflush handler (v9fs_mux_flush_cb).

- remove unnecessary -ENOMEM assignments
- return correct value when buf_check_size for second time in a buffer
- handle failures when create_workqueue and kthread_create are called
- use kzalloc instead of kmalloc/memset 0
- v9fs_str_copy and v9fs_str_compare were buggy, were used only in one
place, correct the logic and move it to the place it is used.
