When NFS creates a machine credential, it is a "generic" credential, not tied to any auth protocol, and is really just a container for the princpal name. This doesn't get linked to a genuine credential until rpcauth_bindcred() is called. The lookup always succeeds, so various places that test if the machine credential is NULL, are pointless. As a step towards getting rid of generic credentials, this patch gets rid of generic machine credentials. The nfs_client and rpc_client just hold a pointer to a constant principal name. When a machine credential is wanted, a special static 'struct rpc_cred' pointer is used. rpcauth_bindcred() recognizes this, finds the principal from the client, and binds the correct credential.
