p9_client_attach(): set fid->uid correctly
it's almost always equal to current_fsuid(), but there's an exception - if the first writeback fid is opened by non-root *and* that happens before root has done any lookups in /, we end up doing attach for root. The current code leaves the resulting FID owned by root from the server POV and by non-root from the client one. Unfortunately, it means that e.g. massive dcache eviction will leave that user buggered - they'll end up redoing walks from / *and* picking that FID every time. As soon as they try to create something, the things will get nasty. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
