PATCH 1/1 sunrpc: avoid warning in gss_key_timeout

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.

Fixes c5e6aecd034e7 ("sunrpc: fix RCU handling of gc_ctx field")

Looks reasonable, thanks; applying for 4.4--b.
