9p: Change p9_fid_create calling convention
Return NULL instead of ERR_PTR when we can't allocate a FID. The ENOSPC return value was getting all the way back to userspace, and that's confusing for a userspace program which isn't expecting read() to tell it there's no space left on the filesystem. The best error we can return to indicate a temporary failure caused by lack of client resources is ENOMEM. Maybe it would be better to sleep until a FID is available, but that's not a change I'm comfortable making.
