Thanks!  I thought your below-the-line context was useful, so pulled a
version of it into the commit.

    sunrpc: integer underflow in rsc_parse()
    
    If we call groups_alloc() with invalid values then it's might lead to
    memory corruption.  For example, with a negative value then we might not
    allocate enough for sizeof(struct group_info).
    
    (We're doing this in the caller for consistency with other callers of
    groups_alloc().  The other alternative might be to move the check out of
    all the callers into groups_alloc().)
