Oh... Fixing tags for stable made me notice this actually wasn't merged
into 5.19 unlike what I thought, so we only have the original bug of
potentially freeing the idr with tags still in it.

That's a much smaller bug and I'll just remove the first
p9_client_destroy on failure patch for this merge window (small leak
that requires root on error) ; then we can take time to properly fix
this one way or another for next cycle.
