If p9_check_errors() fails early in p9_client_rpc(), req->rc.tag

will not be properly initialized. However, trace_9p_client_res()

ends up trying to print it out anyway before p9_client_rpc()

finishes.

Fix this issue by assigning default values to p9_fcall fields

such as 'tag' and (just in case KMSAN unearths something new) 'id'

during the tag allocation stage.
