Subject: [PATCH] nfsd: fix return error code for nfsd_map_name_to_[ug]id

idmap lookups can time out while the cache is waiting for a userspace upcall reply. In that case cache_check() returns -ETIMEDOUT to callers.

The nfsd_map_name_to_[ug]id functions currently proceed with attempting to map the id to a kuid despite a potentially temporary failure to perform the idmap lookup. This results in the code returning the error NFSERR_BADOWNER which can cause client operations to return to userspace with failure.

Fix this by returning the failure status before attempting kuid mapping.

This will return NFSERR_JUKEBOX on idmap lookup timeout so that clients can retry the operation instead of aborting it.
