nfsd: pass client principal name in rsc downcall
Two principals are involved in krb5 authentication: the target, who we authenticate *to* (normally the name of the server, like nfs/server.citi.umich.edu@CITI.UMICH.EDU), and the source, we we authenticate *as* (normally a user, like bfields@UMICH.EDU) In the case of NFSv4 callbacks, the target of the callback should be the source of the client's setclientid call, and the source should be the nfs server's own principal. Therefore we allow svcgssd to pass down the name of the principal that just authenticated, so that on setclientid we can store that principal name with the new client, to be used later on callbacks.
