NFS: fix bug in legacy DNS resolver.
The DNS resolver's use of the sunrpc cache involves a 'ttl' number (relative) rather that a timeout (absolute). This confused me when I wrote commit c5b29f885afe890f953f7f23424045cdad31d3e4 "sunrpc: use seconds since boot in expiry cache" and I managed to break it. The effect is that any TTL is interpreted as 0, and nothing useful gets into the cache. This patch removes the use of get_expiry() - which really expects an expiry time - and uses get_uint() instead, treating the int correctly as a ttl. This fixes a regression that has been present since 2.6.37, causing certain NFS accesses in certain environments to incorrectly fail.
