In conf_runas(), Coverity reports that we might dereference uid and
gid despite possibly being NULL (CWE-476) because of the check after
the first sscanf(). They can't be NULL, but I actually wanted to
check that UID and GID are non-zero (the user could otherwise pass
--runas root:root and defy the whole mechanism).
Later on, we have the same type of warning for 'gr': it's compared
against NULL, so it might be NULL, which is actually the case: but
in that case, we don't dereference it, because we'll return -ENOENT
right away. Rewrite the clause to silence the warning.
