Linux MNTv3 server does not announce AUTH_NULL in auth_info response.
This is a MNTv3 server bug and prevents kernel to mount exports with
AUTH_NULL flavor. So as a workaround when user explicitly specifies
only AUTH_NULL flavor via mount option -o sec=none then allow to
continue mounting export via AUTH_NULL.
This change fixes mounting of NFS3 AUTH_NULL exports from Linux NFS3
servers.
