This patch provides the RPC layer helper functions to allow NFS to manage
data in the face of expired credentials - such as avoiding buffered WRITEs
and COMMITs when the gss context will expire before the WRITEs are flushed
and COMMITs are sent.
These helper functions enable checking the expiration of an underlying
credential key for a generic rpc credential, e.g. the gss_cred gss context
gc_expiry which for Kerberos is set to the remaining TGT lifetime.
A new rpc_authops key_timeout is only defined for the generic auth.
A new rpc_credops crkey_to_expire is only defined for the generic cred.
A new rpc_credops crkey_timeout is only defined for the gss cred.
Set a credential key expiry watermark, RPC_KEY_EXPIRE_TIMEO set to 240 seconds
as a default and can be set via a module parameter as we need to ensure there
is time for any dirty data to be flushed.
If key_timeout is called on a credential with an underlying credential key that
will expire within watermark seconds, we set the RPC_CRED_KEY_EXPIRE_SOON
flag in the generic_cred acred so that the NFS layer can clean up prior to
key expiration.
Checking a generic credential's underlying credential involves a cred lookup.
To avoid this lookup in the normal case when the underlying credential has
a key that is valid (before the watermark), a notify flag is set in
the generic credential the first time the key_timeout is called. The
generic credential then stops checking the underlying credential key expiry, and
the underlying credential (gss_cred) match routine then checks the key
expiration upon each normal use and sets a flag in the associated generic
credential only when the key expiration is within the watermark.
This in turn signals the generic credential key_timeout to perform the extra
credential lookup thereafter.

A SECINFO reply may contain flavors whose kernel module is not
yet loaded by the client's kernel. A new RPC client API, called
rpcauth_get_pseudoflavor(), is introduced to do proper checking
for support of a security flavor.
When this API is invoked, the RPC client now tries to load the
module for each flavor first before performing the "is this
supported?" check. This means if a module is available on the
client, but has not been loaded yet, it will be loaded and
registered automatically when the SECINFO reply is processed.
The new API can take a full GSS tuple (OID, QoP, and service).
Previously only the OID and service were considered.
nfs_find_best_sec() is updated to verify all flavors requested in a
SECINFO reply, including AUTH_NULL and AUTH_UNIX. Previously these
two flavors were simply assumed to be supported without consulting
the RPC client.
Note that the replaced version of nfs_find_best_sec() can return
RPC_AUTH_MAXFLAVOR if the server returns a recognized OID but an
unsupported "service" value. nfs_find_best_sec() now returns
RPC_AUTH_UNIX in this case.

The gss_mech_list_pseudoflavors() function provides a list of
currently registered GSS pseudoflavors. This list does not include
any non-GSS flavors that have been registered with the RPC client.
nfs4_find_root_sec() currently adds these extra flavors by hand.
Instead, nfs4_find_root_sec() should be looking at the set of flavors
that have been explicitly registered via rpcauth_register(). And,
other areas of code will soon need the same kind of list that
contains all flavors the kernel currently knows about (see below).
Rather than cloning the open-coded logic in nfs4_find_root_sec() to
those new places, introduce a generic RPC function that generates a
full list of registered auth flavors and pseudoflavors.
A new rpc_authops method is added that lists a flavor's
pseudoflavors, if it has any. I encountered an interesting module
loader loop when I tried to get the RPC client to invoke
gss_mech_list_pseudoflavors() by name.
This patch is a pre-requisite for server trunking discovery, and a
pre-requisite for fixing up the in-kernel mount client to do better
automatic security flavor selection.

This patch subscribes RPC clients to RPC pipefs notifications. RPC clients
notifier block is registering with pipefs initialization during SUNRPC module
init.
This notifier callback is responsible for RPC client PipeFS directory and GSS
pipes creation. For pipes creation and destruction two additional callbacks
were added to struct rpc_authops.
Note that no locking required in notifier callback because PipeFS superblock
pointer is passed as an argument from it's creation or destruction routine and
thus we can be sure about it's validity.

Now that all client-side XDR decoder routines use xdr_streams, there
should be no need to support the legacy calling sequence [rpc_rqst *,
__be32 *, RPC res *] anywhere. We can construct an xdr_stream in the
generic RPC code, instead of in each decoder function.
This is a refactoring change. It should not cause different behavior.

Also, all the client-side encoder functions return 0 now, making a

return void instead.

This will allow us to save the original generic cred in rpc_message, so
