[PATCH 019 of 20] knfsd: nfsd: allow auth_sys nlm on rpcsec_gss exports

From: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Our clients (like other clients, as far as I know) use only auth_sys for

Administrators that want to deny non-kerberos-authenticated locking
requests will need to turn off NFS protocol versions less than 4....
