[PATCH v2 2/9] 9pfs: validate count sent by client with T_readdir

[Christian Schoenebeck]

A good 9p client sends T_readdir with "count" parameter that's
sufficiently smaller than client's initially negotiated msize
(maximum message size). We perform a check for that though to
avoid the server to be interrupted with a "Failed to encode
VirtFS reply type 41" error message by bad clients.

Note: we should probably also check for a minimum size of
msize during T_version to avoid issues and/or too complicated
count/size checks later on in other requests of that client.
T_version should submit an msize that's at least as large as
the largest request's header size.
