It used to be possible for an rpc.gssd daemon to stuff the RPC credential
cache for any rpc client simply by creating RPCSEC_GSS contexts and then
doing downcalls. In practice, no daemons ever made use of this feature.
Remove this feature now, since it will be impossible to figure out which
mechanism a given context actually matches if we enable more
than one gss mechanism to use the same upcall pipe.

Cleans up an issue whereby rpcsec_gss uses the rpc_clnt->cl_auth. If we want
to be able to add several rpc_auths to a single rpc_clnt, then this abuse
must go.

The root cause of the NFS hang we were observing appears to be a rare
deadlock between the kernel provided usermodehelper API and the linux NFS
client. The deadlock can arise because both of these services use the
generic linux work queues. The usermodehelper API run the specified user
application in the context of the work queue. And NFS submits both cleanup
and reconnect work to the generic work queue for handling. Normally this
is fine but a deadlock can result in the following situation.
- NFS client is in a disconnected state
- [events/0] runs a usermodehelper app with an NFS dependent operation,
this triggers an NFS reconnect.
- NFS reconnect happens to be submitted to [events/0] work queue.
- Deadlock, the [events/0] work queue will never process the
reconnect because it is blocked on the previous NFS dependent
operation which will not complete.`
The solution is simply to run reconnect requests on rpciod.

Instead of taking the mutex every time we just need to increment/decrement
rpciod_users, we can optmise by using atomic_inc_not_zero and
atomic_dec_and_test.

The kref now does most of what cl_count + cl_user used to do. The only
remaining role for cl_count is to tell us if we are in a 'shutdown'
phase. We can provide that information using a single bit field instead
of a full atomic counter.
Also rename rpc_destroy_client() to rpc_close_client(), which reflects
better what its role is these days.

Replace it with explicit calls to rpc_shutdown_client() or
rpc_destroy_client() (for the case of asynchronous calls).

Its use is at best racy, and there is only one user (lockd), which has
additional locking that makes the whole thing redundant.

rpciod_running is not used at all, but due to the way DECLARE_MUTEX_LOCKED
works we don't get a warning for it.

While the comment says:
* To prevent rpciod from hanging, this allocator never sleeps,
* returning NULL if the request cannot be serviced immediately.
The function does not actually check for NULL pointers being returned.
