OK, I did it first with two patches, but it seemed a bit clunky
because there's duplicated functionality for both the winbindd_fd
and is_privileged variables. They're both related, and it seemed
better to just put them in a struct together which saves
duplication.

So three patches attached. First converts to struct. Second adds
the function to return the pointer to that struct, third adds the
pthread code.

I realised half way through that winbind_nss_irix.c also refers to
winbindd_fd (hence it's not static), so I've also added code to
that, however I've got no easy way to actually compile or test
that file, so not sure if what I've done in there is correct or
not.

Aside from that these patches compile fine, but I haven't tested
yet - will likely be a few days before I can do that (will have to
backport to 3.6 first before I can test under load).

Cheers,

Matthew
