From the manpages of getgrnam_r (getpwnam_r is similar):
"If no matching group record was found, these functions return 0 and
store NULL in *result."

The code checked only against errors, but non existing users didn't set
e != 0 therefore the code could try to set arbitrary uid/gid values.

*Update in v2*
fix wrong pointer usage of *res and running full set of unit tests to be sure.

Fixes: e91b927d lib/daemon: support --user option for all OVS daemon

Aarons last patch reminded me that we didn't went on on the fixed patch for
this code path that Aaron just modified.
So giving this a bump to show up again.

Cool! From my recent series (in the ovs_strtousr function):

+    if (e != 0 || !res) {
+        if (!res) e = ENOENT;
+        VLOG_ERR("Failed to retrieve user pwentry (%s), aborting.",
+                 ovs_strerror(e));
+        goto release;
+    }

I think I did testing with the ovs_strtousr function, and figured I
missed the check when moving it over.
