LU-4113 gss: uncatched error in gss_svc_upcall causes drops

Since kernel version 2.6.20 the function cache_check() in
net/sunrpc/cache.c can return the error -ETIMEDOUT. This
error should cause to recheck the cache. In current
implementation gss_svc_upcall_handle_init() is not
handling the error which causes to fall through the
switch statement returning GOTO(out, rc = SECSVC_DROP).
As a consequence this error is propagating to
ERROR:do_nego_rpc(): status: -110 (Unknown error 18446744073709551506)
ERROR:lgssc_negotiation(): negotiation rpc error: -85
ERROR:lgssc_kr_negotiate(): key 08786b66: failed to negotiation
and causes client hanging after switching to flavor krb5i/krb5p.
