Fix return code from getent netgroup when the netgroup is not found (bz #16366)

nscd incorrectly returns a success even when the netgroup in question
is not found and adds a positive result in the cache.  this patch
fixes this behaviour by adding a negative lookup entry to cache and
returning an error when the netgroup is not found.
