9p: fix device file handling
In v9fs_get_inode(), for block, as well as char devices (in theory),
the function init_special_inode() is called to set up callback functions
for file ops. this function uses the file mode's value to determine whether
to use block or char dev functions. In v9fs_inode_from_fid(), the function
p9mode2unixmode() is used, but for all devices it initially returns S_IFBLK,
then uses v9fs_get_inode() to initialise a new inode, then finally uses
v9fs_stat2inode(), which would determine whether the inode is a block or
character device. However, at that point init_special_inode() had already
decided to use the block device functions, so even if the inode's mode is
turned to a character device, the block functions are still used to operate
on them. The attached patch simply calls init_special_inode() again for devices
after parsing device node data in v9fs_stat2inode() so that the proper functions
are used.
