SUNRPC: Add the equivalent of the linger and linger2 timeouts to RPC sockets

This fixes a regression against FreeBSD servers as reported by Tomas
Kasparek. Apparently when using RPC over a TCP socket, the FreeBSD servers
don't ever react to the client closing the socket, and so commit
e06799f958bf7f9f8fae15f0c6f519953fb0257c (SUNRPC: Use shutdown() instead of
close() when disconnecting a TCP socket) causes the setup to hang forever
whenever the client attempts to close and then reconnect.

We break the deadlock by adding a 'linger2' style timeout to the socket,
after which, the client will abort the connection using a TCP 'RST'.

The default timeout is set to 15 seconds. A subsequent patch will put it
under user control by means of a systctl.
