nfsd: -EINVAL on invalid anonuid/gid instead of silent failure
If we're going to refuse to accept these it would be polite of us to at least say so.... This introduces a slight complication since we need to grandfather in exportfs's ill-advised use of -1 uid and gid on its test_export. If it turns out there are other users passing down -1 we may need to do something else. Best might be to drop the checks entirely, but I'm not sure if other parts of the kernel might assume that a task can't run as uid or gid -1. Cc: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
