3.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfie...@redhat.com>
commit 6a36978e6931e6601be586eb313375335f2cfaa3 upstream.
The encoding of linux creds is a bit confusing.
Also: I think in practice it doesn't really matter whether we treat any
of these things as signed or unsigned, but unsigned seems more
straightforward: uid_t/gid_t are unsigned and it simplifies the ngroups
overflow check.
