This hard-link test was actually motived by an issue that I recently 
encountered on a machine: it fails to create any hard links with 9p. This 
particular test case succeeds though.

I think the problem is that recent libvirt versions enable qemu's sandbox 
feature by default which filters syscalls. Fact is, any linkat() call fails on 
that machine with EACCES now. I couldn't reproduce it on my development 
machine yet though. I guess it's a difference in white/black-list seccomp 
config or something. Not sure yet if there is some change required on 9p side 
or whether it's really just a seccomp config issue.

P.S. Noisy days from my side, but this is probably the last batch of patches 
from my side in a while, unless I really need to fix something for that hard 
link isssue. We'll see ...
