RFC 2203 requires the server to drop the request if it believes the
RPCSEC_GSS context is out of sequence. The problem is that we have no way
on the client to know why the server dropped the request. In order to avoid
spinning forever trying to resend the request, the safe approach is
therefore to always invalidate the RPCSEC_GSS context on every major
timeout.
