If change_identity() fails, then process_krb5_upcall should just give
up and do an error downcall, so falling back to using
GSS_C_NT_STRING_UID_NAME in that case seems unnecessary.

Also, we can end up in here legitimately with uid == 0 if
root_uses_machine_creds == 0. So I wonder if we even need the stuff
inside this "if (getuid() == 0)" block at all...

Other than that, I'm fine with ripping that junk out.
