knfsd: use a spinlock to protect sk_info_authunix



sk_info_authunix is not being protected properly so the object that it
points to can be cache_put twice, leading to corruption.

We borrow svsk->sk_defer_lock to provide the protection.  We should
probably rename that lock to have a more generic name - later.

Thanks to Gabriel for reporting this.
