9p: use file_dentry()



commit b403f0e3 upstream.

v9fs may be used as lower layer of overlayfs and accessing f_path.dentry
can lead to a crash.  In this case it's a NULL pointer dereference in
p9_fid_create().

Fix by replacing direct access of file->f_path.dentry with the
file_dentry() accessor, which will always return a native object.
