Fix infinite loop in nscd when netgroup is empty (bz #16365)
Currently, when a user looks up a netgroup that does not have any members, nscd goes into an infinite loop trying to find members in the group. This is because it does not handle cases when getnetgrent returns an NSS_STATUS_NOTFOUND (which is what it does on empty group). Fixed to handle this in the same way as NSS_STATUS_RETURN, similar to what getgrent does by itself.
