The kernel currently ignores any error code sent by gssd and always
considers it to be -EACCES. In order to better handle the situation of
an expired KRB5 TGT, the kernel needs to be able to parse and deal with
the errors that gssd sends. Aside from -EACCES the only error we care
about is -EKEYEXPIRED, which we're using to indicate that the upper
layers should retry the call a little later.
To maintain backward compatibility with older gssd's, any error other
than -EKEYEXPIRED is interpreted as -EACCES.
