sunrpc: safely reallow resvport min/max inversion

Browse source

Commits ffb6ca33b0 and e08ea3a96f prevent setting xprt_min_resvport
greater than xprt_max_resvport, but may also break simple code that sets
one parameter then the other, if the new range does not overlap the old.

Also it looks racy to me, unless there's some serialization I'm not
seeing.  Granted it would probably require malicious privileged processes
(unless there's a chance these might eventually be settable in unprivileged
containers), but still it seems better not to let userspace panic the
kernel.

Simpler seems to be to allow setting the parameters to whatever you want
but interpret xprt_min_resvport > xprt_max_resvport as the empty range.
