p9_tag_alloc() is supposed to return error pointers, but we accidentally
return a NULL here.  It would cause a NULL dereference in the caller.

Fixes: 996d5b4db4b1 ("9p: Use a slab for allocating requests")

Good catch, the culprit commit is only in -next so just adding this to
the queue right away.

Thanks!
