[PATCH] SUNRPC: Load the GSS module by OID only when the mechanism is missing

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

gss_mech_get_by_OID() calls request_module() before it looks at the
list of registered mechanisms, so every lookup forks a modprobe, even
when the mechanism is already registered or built in.
gss_mech_get_by_name() and gss_mech_get_by_pseudoflavor() only load
the module when the lookup fails.

The read handler of /proc/net/rpc/gss_krb5_enctypes uses this lookup,
so every read() of that file runs modprobe, two per cat. The file is
present in every /proc/<pid>/net/rpc and /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/net/rpc
directory, and LTP read_all gives each read one second. On a slow board
in KernelCI its workers stall on this file and the test times out.

Look up the mechanism first and call request_module() only when it is
not found, as the other two lookup functions do.
