SUNRPC: Fix a memory leak in the auth credcache code

The leak only affects the RPCSEC_GSS caches, since they are the only ones
that are dynamically allocated...
Rename the existing rpcauth_free_credcache() to rpcauth_clear_credcache()
in order to better describe its role, then add a new function
rpcauth_destroy_credcache() that actually frees the cache in addition to
clearing it out.

Also move the call to destroy the credcache in gss_destroy() to come before
the rpc upcall pipe is unlinked.
