SUNRPC: Auto-load RPC authentication kernel modules
This patch adds a request_module call to rpcauth_create which will try to auto-load the kernel module for the requested authentication flavor. For kernels with modular sunrpc, this reduces the admin overhead for the user. Signed-off-by: Olaf Kirch <okir@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
