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

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

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <[email protected]>

commit 621eb19ce1ec216e03ad354cb0c4061736b2a436 upstream.

Commit bbf43dc888833ac0539e437dbaeb28bfd4fbab9f "sunrpc/cache.h: replace
simple_strtoul" introduced new range-checking which could cause get_int
to fail on unsigned integers too large to be represented as an int.

We could parse them as unsigned instead--but it turns out svcgssd is
actually passing down "-1" in some cases.  Which is perhaps stupid, but
there's nothing we can do about it now.

So just revert back to the previous "sloppy" behavior that accepts
either representation.
