v9fs_insert uses v9fs_fid_lookup (which also locks the fid) to get the primary
fid associated with the dentry and destroys the v9fs_fid struct after removing
the file. If another process called v9fs_fid_lookup on the same dentry, it may
wait undefinitely for the fid's lock (as the struct is freed).
This patch changes v9fs_remove to use a cloned fid, so the primary fid is
not locked and freed.
