commit 4ac7573e1f9333073fa8d303acc941c9b7ab7f61 upstream.

p9_req_put need to be called when m->rreq->rc.sdata is NULL to avoid
temporary refcount leak.

[Alexander: this branch doesn't contain 8b11ff098af4 ("9p: Add client parameter
 to p9_req_put()"), therefore the parameter is removed from the added line]
