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.

Don't we have a secondary problem (have you been able to pull up a
more complete coverity explanation of the warning - I just see minimal
info on the line numbers of the two functions returning -1)?

e.g. if posix_info_sid_size returns -1, posix_info_parse returns -1
... but we don't check for the rc in one of the callers
cifs_posix_to_fattr

/* Fill a cifs_fattr struct with info from SMB_FIND_FILE_POSIX_INFO. */
static void
cifs_posix_to_fattr(struct cifs_fattr *fattr, struct smb2_posix_info *info,
                    struct cifs_sb_info *cifs_sb)
{
        struct smb2_posix_info_parsed parsed;

        posix_info_parse(info, NULL, &parsed);
... NEED TO CHECK RC HERE ...
        memset(fattr, 0, sizeof(*fattr));
...
