NFS needs to compare to credentials, to see if they can
be treated the same w.r.t. filesystem access.  Sometimes
an ordering is needed when credentials are used as a key
to an rbtree.
NFS currently has its own private credential management from
before 'struct cred' existed.  To move it over to more consistent
use of 'struct cred' we need a comparison function.
This patch adds that function.
