An ULP is supposed to be able to replace a GSS rpc_auth object with another GSS rpc_auth object using rpcauth_create(). However, rpcauth_create() in 3.5 reliably fails with -EEXIST in this case. This is because when gss_create() attempts to create the upcall pipes, sometimes they are already there. For example if a pipe FS mount event occurs, or a previous GSS flavor was in use for this rpc_clnt. It turns out that's not the only problem here. While working on a fix for the above problem, we noticed that replacing an rpc_clnt's rpc_auth is not safe, since dereferencing the cl_auth field is not protected in any way. So we're deprecating the ability of rpcauth_create() to switch an rpc_clnt's security flavor during normal operation. Instead, let's add a fresh API that clones an rpc_clnt and gives the clone a new flavor before it's used. This makes immediate use of the new __rpc_clone_client() helper. This can be used in a similar fashion to rpcauth_create() when a client is hunting for the correct security flavor. Instead of replacing an rpc_clnt's security flavor in a loop, the ULP replaces the whole rpc_clnt. To fix the -EEXIST problem, any ULP logic that relies on replacing an rpc_clnt's rpc_auth with rpcauth_create() must be changed to use this API instead.
