9p-trans_fd: fix trans_fd::p9_conn_destroy()
p9_conn_destroy() first kills all current requests by calling p9_conn_cancel(), then waits for the request list to be cleared by waiting on p9_conn->equeue. After that, polling is stopped and the trans is destroyed. This sequence has a few problems. * Read and write works were never cancelled and the p9_conn can be destroyed while the works are running as r/w works remove requests from the list and dereference the p9_conn from them. * The list emptiness wait using p9_conn->equeue wouldn't trigger because p9_conn_cancel() always clears all the lists and the only way the wait can be triggered is to have another task to issue a request between the slim window between p9_conn_cancel() and the wait, which isn't safe under the current implementation with or without the wait. This patch fixes the problem by first stopping poll, which can schedule r/w works, first and cancle r/w works which guarantees that r/w works are not and will not run from that point and then calling p9_conn_cancel() and do the rest of destruction.
