In posix_info_parse() we call posix_info_sid_size twice for each of the owner and the group
sid. The first time to check that it is valid, i.e. >= 0 and the second time
to just pass it in as a length to memcpy().
As this is a pure function we know that it can not be negative the second time and this
is technically a false warning in coverity.
However, as it is a pure function we are just wasting cycles by calling it a second time.
Record the length from the first time we call it and save some cycles as well as make
Coverity happy.

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.
