9pfs: handle walk of ".." in the root directory

The 9P spec at http://man.cat-v.org/plan_9/5/intro says:

All directories must support walks to the directory .. (dot-dot) meaning
parent directory, although by convention directories contain no explicit
entry for .. or . (dot).  The parent of the root directory of a server's
tree is itself.

This means that a client cannot walk further than the root directory
exported by the server. In other words, if the client wants to walk
"/.." or "/foo/../..", the server should answer like the request was
to walk "/".

This patch just does that:
- we cache the QID of the root directory at attach time
- during the walk we compare the QID of each path component with the root
  QID to detect if we're in a "/.." situation
- if so, we skip the current component and go to the next one
