NFSv3: match sec= flavor against server list

Older linux clients match the 'sec=' mount option flavor against the server's
flavor list (if available) and return EPERM if the specified flavor or AUTH_NULL
(which "matches" any flavor) is not found.

Recent changes skip this step and allow the vfs mount even though no operations
will succeed, creating a 'dud' mount.

This patch reverts back to the old behavior of matching specified flavors
against the server list and also returns EPERM when no sec= is specified and
none of the flavors returned by the server are supported by the client.

Example of behavior change:

the server's /etc/exports:

/export/krb5      *(sec=krb5,rw,no_root_squash)

old client behavior:

$ uname -a
