[RFC PATCH] bringup: Give the kdevops user on the test nodes a specific UID

[cel@kernel.org]

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

I was getting unexpected "Permission denied" errors when the target
nodes tried to install a Linux kernel built on the host.

9p works only when the kdevops user has the same UID on the control
and target nodes.

Not sure this is the right solution, I'm no 9p expert. but it seems
to work.
