nfsd4: fix hang on fast-booting nfs servers
The last_close field of a cache_detail is initialized to zero, so the
condition
detail->last_close < seconds_since_boot() - 30
may be false even for a cache that was never opened.
However, we want to immediately fail upcalls to caches that were never
opened: in the case of the auth_unix_gid cache, especially, which may
never be opened by mountd (if the --manage-gids option is not set), we
want to fail the upcall immediately. Otherwise client requests will be
dropped unnecessarily on reboot.
Also document these conditions.
