Subject: [patch v2] sunrpc: integer underflow in rsc_parse()

If we call groups_alloc() with invalid values then it's might lead to
memory corruption.  For example, with a negative value then we might not
allocate enough for sizeof(struct group_info).

Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

v2:  In v1, I changed groups_alloc().  The other places which call
groups_alloc() check the value before calling.  Eric wanted that, either
have all the callers check, or all the callers rely on groups_alloc().
In the end, Bruce Fields said adding the check here was probably
reasonable.
