errno may have been clobbered by any standard library function/syscall
invoked by this thread before v9fs_post_do_syncfs() was called.  Why
not pass the -errno in the function argument?

static void v9fs_post_do_syncfs(V9fsState *s, V9fsPDU *pdu, int err)
{
    complete_pdu(s, pdu, err);
}

I strongly suggest doing a separate patch series to clean up of all of
virtio-9p to stop using errno.  It's bad practice and I've caught
several errno mistakes in the virtio-9p patches I've reviewed - I bet
there are other instances lurking around.

This wasn't setting errno but passed the error in err.  It can stay
like this if you change v9fs_post_do_syncfs().
