NLM: nlm_privileged_requester() doesn't recognize mapped loopback address

Commit b85e4676 added the nlm_privileged_requester() helper to check
whether an RPC request was sent from a local privileged caller.  It
recognizes IPv4 privileged callers (from "127.0.0.1"), and IPv6
privileged callers (from "::1").

However, IPV6_ADDR_LOOPBACK is not set for the mapped IPv4 loopback
address (::ffff:7f00:0001), so the test breaks when the kernel's RPC
service is IPv6-enabled but user space is calling via the IPv4
loopback address.  This is actually the most common case for IPv6-
enabled RPC services on Linux.

Rewrite the IPv6 check to handle the mapped IPv4 loopback address as
well as a normal IPv6 loopback address.
