nscd: bump GC cycle during cache pruning (bug 26130)
Commit Message
While nscd prunes a cache it becomes inconsistent temporarily, which is
visible to clients if that cache is shared. Bump the GC cycle counter so
that the clients notice the modification window.
Use atomic_fetch_add to modify the GC cycle counter, including in the gc
function.
