Subject: [PATCH] libceph: handle an empty authorize reply

The authorize reply can be empty, for example when the ticket used to build the authorizer is too old and TAG_BADAUTHORIZER is returned from the service. Calling ->verify_authorizer_reply() results in an attempt to decrypt and validate (somewhat) random data in au->buf (most likely the signature block from calc_signature()), which fails and ends up in con_fault_finish() with !con->auth_retry. The ticket isn't invalidated and the connection is retried again and again until a new ticket is obtained from the monitor:

libceph: osd2 192.168.122.1:6809 bad authorize reply
libceph: osd2 192.168.122.1:6809 bad authorize reply
libceph: osd2 192.168.122.1:6809 bad authorize reply
libceph: osd2 192.168.122.1:6809 bad authorize reply

Let TAG_BADAUTHORIZER handler kick in and increment con->auth_retry.
