Heh, unintended protocol fuzzing ;-)

I see the problem; need to initialise fid->fid to 0 before calling
idr_alloc_u32.  I'd misread:

        memset(&fid->qid, 0, sizeof(struct p9_qid));
as
        memset(fid, 0, sizeof(struct p9_fid));

so I thought fid->fid was already 0.  I'll fix that up, thanks!
