From: Chengguang Xu <cgxu519@xxxxxxx> Subject: net/9p/client.c: fix potential refcnt problem of trans module When specifying trans_mod multiple times in a mount, it will cause an inaccurate refcount of the trans module. Also, in the error case of option parsing, we should put the trans module if we have already got it.
