    getlogin_r: return early when linux sentinel value is set
    
    When there is no login uid Linux sets /proc/self/loginid to the sentinel
    value of, (uid_t) -1. If this is set we can return early and avoid
    needlessly looking up the sentinel value in any configured nss
    databases.
    
    Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu.
    
            * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getlogin_r.c (__getlogin_r_loginuid): Return
            early when linux sentinel value is set.
