nfsd: -EINVAL on invalid anonuid/gid instead of silent failure

If we're going to refuse to accept these it would be polite of us to at
least say so....

This introduces a slight complication since we need to grandfather in
exportfs's ill-advised use of -1 uid and gid on its test_export.

If it turns out there are other users passing down -1 we may need to
do something else.

Best might be to drop the checks entirely, but I'm not sure if other
parts of the kernel might assume that a task can't run as uid or gid -1.
