I don't think this is much of an issue (at most, it will allow a user
to log on up to a few seconds after her password expires), but I see
your point.

pam_sm_acct_mgmt() is allowed to return PAM_AUTHTOK_EXPIRED (which is
a better return value than PAM_AUTH_ERR for this case).  Other than
that, I have no objections to your patch.
