NFS: Handle missing rpc.gssd when looking up root FH
When rpc.gssd is not running, any NFS operation that needs to use a
GSS security flavor of course does not work.
If looking up a server's root file handle results in an
NFS4ERR_WRONGSEC, nfs4_find_root_sec() is called to try a bunch of
security flavors until one works or all reasonable flavors have
been tried. When rpc.gssd isn't running, this loop seems to fail
immediately after rpcauth_create() craps out on the first GSS
flavor.
When the rpcauth_create() call in nfs4_lookup_root_sec() fails
because rpc.gssd is not available, nfs4_lookup_root_sec()
unconditionally returns -EIO. This prevents nfs4_find_root_sec()
from retrying any other flavors; it drops out of its loop and fails
immediately.
Having nfs4_lookup_root_sec() return -EACCES instead allows
nfs4_find_root_sec() to try all flavors in its list.
