sunrpc/auth: allow lockless (rcu) lookup of credential cache. The new flag RPCAUTH_LOOKUP_RCU to credential lookup avoids locking, does not take a reference on the returned credential, and returns -ECHILD if a simple lookup was not possible. The returned value can only be used within an rcu_read_lock protected region. The main user of this is the new rpc_lookup_cred_nonblock() which returns a pointer to the current credential which is only rcu-safe (no ref-count held), and might return -ECHILD if allocation was required.
