v9fs: fix error handling in v9fs_session_init()
On failure, v9fs_session_init() returns with the v9fs_session_info
struct partially initialized and expects the caller to invoke
v9fs_session_close() to clean it up; however, it doesn't track whether
the bdi is initialized or not and curiously invokes bdi_destroy() in
both vfs_session_init() failure path too.
A. If v9fs_session_init() fails before the bdi is initialized, the
follow-up v9fs_session_close() will invoke bdi_destroy() on an
uninitialized bdi.
B. If v9fs_session_init() fails after the bdi is initialized,
bdi_destroy() will be called twice on the same bdi - once in the
failure path of v9fs_session_init() and then by
v9fs_session_close().
A is broken no matter what. B used to be okay because bdi_destroy()
allowed being invoked multiple times on the same bdi, which BTW was
broken in its own way - if bdi_destroy() was invoked on an initialiezd
but !registered bdi, it'd fail to free percpu counters. Since
f0054bb1e1f3 ("writeback: move backing_dev_info->wb_lock and
->worklist into bdi_writeback"), this no longer work - bdi_destroy()
on an initialized but not registered bdi works correctly but multiple
invocations of bdi_destroy() is no longer allowed.
The obvious culprit here is v9fs_session_init()'s odd and broken error
behavior. It should simply clean up after itself on failures. This
patch makes the following updates to v9fs_session_init().
* @rc -> @retval error return propagation removed. It didn't serve
any purpose. Just use @rc.
* Move addition to v9fs_sessionlist to the end of the function so that
incomplete sessions are not put on the list or iterated and error
path doesn't have to worry about it.
* Update error handling so that it cleans up after itself.
