Subject: [PATCH 001 of 2] knfsd: Use a spinlock to protect sk_info_authunix


sk_info_authunix is not being protected properly so the object that
it points to can be cache_put twice, leading to corruption.

We borrow svsk->sk_defer_lock to provide the protection.  We should probably
rename that lock to have a more generic name - later.

Thanks to Gabriel for reporting this.
