Subject: [PATCH v2] 9p: fix EBADF errors in cached mode
Date:   Thu, 16 Jun 2022 22:52:55 +0900

cached operations sometimes need to do invalid operations (e.g. read
on a write only file)
Historic fscache had added a "writeback fid" for this, but the conversion
to new fscache somehow lost usage of it: use the writeback fid instead
of normal one.

Note that the way this works (writeback fid being linked to inode) means
we might use overprivileged fid for some operations, e.g. write as root
when we shouldn't.
Ideally we should keep both fids handy, and only use the writeback fid
when really required e.g. reads to a write-only file to fill in the page
cache (read-modify-write); but this is the situation we've always had
and this commit only fixes an issue we've had for too long.
