This reverts commit0701214cd6. The premise of this commit was incorrect. There are exactly 2 cases where rpcauth_checkverf() will return an error: 1) If there was an XDR decode problem (i.e. garbage data). 2) If gss_validate() had a problem verifying the RPCSEC_GSS MIC. In the second case, there are again 2 subcases: a) The GSS context expires, in which case gss_validate() will force a new context negotiation on retry by invalidating the cred. b) The sequence number check failed because an RPC call timed out, and the client retransmitted the request using a new sequence number, as required by RFC2203. In neither subcase is this a fatal error.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
