Merge tag '9p-for-6.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ericvh/v9fs

Pull 9p updates from Eric Van Hensbergen:
 "This includes a number of patches addressing improvements in the cache
  portions of the 9p client.

  The biggest improvements have to do with fixing handling of inodes and
  eliminating duplicate structures and unnecessary allocation/release of
  inode structures and many associated unnecessary protocol traffic.
  This also dramatically reduced code complexity across the code and
  sets us up to add proper temporal cache capabilities"

* tag '9p-for-6.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ericvh/v9fs:
  fs/9p: fix dups even in uncached mode
  fs/9p: simplify iget to remove unnecessary paths
  fs/9p: rework qid2ino logic
  fs/9p: Eliminate now unused v9fs_get_inode
  fs/9p: Eliminate redundant non-cache path in mknod
  fs/9p: remove walk and inode allocation from symlink
  fs/9p: convert mkdir to use get_new_inode
  fs/9p: switch vfsmount to use v9fs_get_new_inode
