When a 9p tree was mounted with option 'posixacl', parent directory had a
default ACL set for its subdirectories, e.g.:

  setfacl -m default:group:simpsons:rwx parentdir

then creating a subdirectory crashed 9p client, as v9fs_fid_add() call in
function v9fs_vfs_mkdir_dotl() sets the passed 'fid' pointer to NULL
(since dafbe689736) even though the subsequent v9fs_set_create_acl() call
expects a valid non-NULL 'fid' pointer:

  [   37.273191] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000

Fix this by simply swapping the sequence of these two calls in
v9fs_vfs_mkdir_dotl(), i.e. calling v9fs_set_create_acl() before
v9fs_fid_add().
