The current rpc_cred_cache hashtable uses only the uid in the hash
computation.  rpc_creds created with the same uid but different
gids will all go on the same hash chain.

In certain usage patterns, such as the following, this can lead to
extremely long hash chains for these uids, while the rest of the
hashtable remains nearly empty. This causes very high cpu usage
in rpcauth_lookup_credcache, and slow performance for that uid.

    for (i = 0 ; i < 100000 ; i++) {
        setregid(-1, i);
        stat(path, &st);
    }

Add the gid to the hash algorithm to distribute the rpc_creds
throughout the cache to avoid long individual hash chains.
