lockd: Add helper to sanity check incoming NOTIFY requests

lockd accepts SM_NOTIFY calls only from a privileged process on the
local system.  If lockd uses an AF_INET6 listener, the sender's address
(ie the local rpc.statd) will be the IPv6 loopback address, not the
IPv4 loopback address.

Make sure the privilege test in nlmsvc_proc_sm_notify() and
nlm4svc_proc_sm_notify() works for both AF_INET and AF_INET6 family
addresses by refactoring the test into a helper and adding support for
IPv6 addresses.
