commit cc6a7aab

 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.
