net/9p: Check errno validity
While working on a modified server I had the Linux clients crash a few times. This lead me to find this: Some error codes are directly extracted from the server replies. A malformed server reply could contain an invalid error code, with a very large value. If this value is then passed to ERR_PTR() it will not be properly detected as an error code by IS_ERR() and as a result the kernel will dereference an invalid pointer. This patch tries to avoid this.
