[PATCH RFC2 1/2] SUNRPC: Set SOFTCONN when destroying GSS contexts

[Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Prevent a (temporary) hang when shutting down an rpc_clnt that has
used one or more GSS creds.

I noticed that callers of rpc_call_null_helper() use a common set of
flags, so I collected them all in that helper function.
