NFSv3: try get_root user-supplied security_flavor

 Thanks to Ed Keizer for bug and root cause.  He says: "... we could only mount
 the top-level Solaris share. We could not mount deeper into the tree.
 Investigation showed that Solaris allows UNIX authenticated FSINFO only on the
 top level of the share. This is a problem because we share/export our home
 directories one level higher than we mount them. I.e. we share the partition
 and not the individual home directories. This prevented access to home
 directories."

 We still may need to try auth_sys for the case where the client doesn't have
 appropriate credentials.
