3.19.8-ckt11 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me 
know.

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

From: Arnd Bergmann <a...@arndb.de>

commit cc6a7aab5570beef884ff95f7cade6634bf815a1 upstream.

The gss_key_timeout() function causes a harmless warning in some
configurations, e.g. ARM imx_v6_v7_defconfig with gcc-5.2, if the
compiler cannot figure out the state of the 'expire' variable across
an rcu_read_unlock():

net/sunrpc/auth_gss/auth_gss.c: In function 'gss_key_timeout':
net/sunrpc/auth_gss/auth_gss.c:1422:211: warning: 'expire' may be used 
uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

To avoid this warning without adding a bogus initialization, this
rewrites the function so the comparison is done inside of the
critical section. As a side-effect, it also becomes slightly
easier to understand because the implementation now more closely
resembles the comment above it.
