nfsd: nfsd should drop CAP_MKNOD for non-root

Browse source 
Since creating a device node is normally an operation requiring special
privilege, Igor Zhbanov points out that it is surprising (to say the
least) that a client can, for example, create a device node on a
filesystem exported with root_squash.

So, make sure CAP_MKNOD is among the capabilities dropped when an nfsd
thread handles a request from a non-root user.
