Subject: [ 066/127] svcrpc: fix failures to handle -1 uids and gids

3.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@...hat.com>

commit afe3c3fd5392b2f0066930abc5dbd3f4b14a0f13 upstream.

As of f025adf191924e3a75ce80e130afcd2485b53bb8 "sunrpc: Properly decode
kuids and kgids in RPC_AUTH_UNIX credentials" any rpc containing a -1
(0xffff) uid or gid would fail with a badcred error.

Reported symptoms were xmbc clients failing on upgrade of the NFS
server; examination of the network trace showed them sending -1 as the
gid.
