NFSD: Add a key for signing filehandles

A future patch will enable NFSD to sign filehandles by appending a Message
Authentication Code(MAC).  To do this, NFSD requires a secret 128-bit key
that can persist across reboots.  A persisted key allows the server to
accept filehandles after a restart.  Enable NFSD to be configured with this
key via the netlink interface.
