knfsd: nfsd: make all exp_finding functions return -errno's on err

Currently exp_find(), exp_get_by_name(), and friends, return an export on
success, and on failure return:

	errors -EAGAIN (drop this request pending an upcall) or
		-ETIMEDOUT (an upcall has timed out), or
	return NULL, which can mean either that there was a memory allocation
		failure, or that an export was not found, or that a passed-in
		export lacks an auth_domain.

Many callers seem to assume that NULL means that an export was not found,
which may lead to bugs in the case of a memory allocation failure.

Modify these functions to distinguish between the two NULL cases by returning
either -ENOENT or -ENOMEM.  They now never return NULL.  We get to simplify
some code in the process.

We return -ENOENT in the case of a missing auth_domain.  This case should
probably be removed (or converted to a bug) after confirming that it can never
happen.
