The xattrcreate operation only makes sense on a freshly cloned fid
actually, since any open state would be leaked because of the fid_type
change. This is indeed what the linux kernel client does:
fid = clone_fid(fid);
[...]
retval = p9_client_xattrcreate(fid, name, value_len, flags);
This patch also reverts commit ff55e94d23 since we are sure that a fid
with type P9_FID_NONE doesn't have a previously allocated xattr.
