Subject: svcrpc: fix oops in absence of krb5 module

From: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>

commit 034dd34ff4916ec1f8f74e39ca3efb04eab2f791 upstream.

Olga Kornievskaia says: "I ran into this oops in the nfsd (below)
(4.10-rc3 kernel). To trigger this I had a client (unsuccessfully) try
to mount the server with krb5 where the server doesn't have the
rpcsec_gss_krb5 module built."

The problem is that rsci.cred is copied from a svc_cred structure that
gss_proxy didn't properly initialize.  Fix that.
