9p: fix put_data error handling
Abhishek Kulkarni pointed out an inconsistency in the way errors are returned from p9_put_data. On deeper exploration it seems the error handling for this path was completely wrong. This patch adds checks for allocation problems and propagates errors correctly. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>
