Should radeon_driver_open_kms be gss_krb5_import_sec_context?

Also, perhaps it is useful to write something like this:

Hi Zhipeng Lu,

Other than the comment above, I agree with your analysis.
And that although the problem has changed form slightly,
it was originally introduced by the cited commit.
I also agree that your fix.
