cred: add cred_fscmp() for comparing creds.

NFS needs to compare to credentials, to see if they can
be treated the same w.r.t. filesystem access.  Sometimes
an ordering is needed when credentials are used as a key
to an rbtree.
NFS currently has its own private credential management from
before 'struct cred' existed.  To move it over to more consistent
use of 'struct cred' we need a comparison function.
This patch adds that function.

* cred_fscmp - Compare two credentials with respect to filesystem access.
* @a: The first credential
* @b: The second credential
*
* cred_cmp() will return zero if both credentials have the same
* fsuid, fsgid, and supplementary groups. That is, if they will both
* provide the same access to files based on mode/uid/gid.
* If the credentials are different, then either -1 or 1 will
* be returned depending on whether @a comes before or after @b
* respectively in an arbitrary, but stable, ordering of credentials.
*
* Return: -1, 0, or 1 depending on comparison
