fs/9p: Fix a datatype used with V9FS_DIRECT_IO
[ Upstream commit 95f41d87810083d8b3dedcce46a4e356cf4a9673 ]
The commit in Fixes has introduced some "enum p9_session_flags" values
larger than a char.
Such values are stored in "v9fs_session_info->flags" which is a char only.
Turn it into an int so that the "enum p9_session_flags" values can fit in
it.
