Something like this?

It's a little annoying that we then allocate a struct group_info * to
hold the on-the-wire auth_unix groups, even when we'll later discard
them.

But I doubt that's a big deal, and I'd prefer the cleaner nfsd/rpc
separation.

    nfsd4: don't try to map gid's in generic rpc code
    
    For nfsd we provide users the option of mapping uid's to server-side
    supplementary group lists.  That makes sense for nfsd, but not
    necessarily for other rpc users (such as the callback client).
    
    So move that lookup to svcauth_unix_set_client, which is a
    program-specific method.
