[PATCH] kNFSd: fix race with flushing nfsd cache.
To purge an nfsd-authentication cache, we set the flush time to later than last-refresh time in the cache and call cache_flush. The easiest way to find 'later than last-refresh' is 'now+1'. This has two problems. 1/ if the time-of-day clock has gone bacwards, some entries might not be purged 2/ if a new entry is added in the same second as cache_purge ran, it will get ignored. To resolve these issues, we set the flushtime to the maximum possible time before calling cache_flush, and then set it back to the minimum time afterwards.
