[ Upstream commit 5133bee62f0ea5d4c316d503cc0040cac5637601 ]
Handling of S_ISGID is usually done by inode_init_owner() in all other filesystems, but kernfs doesn't use that function. In kernfs, struct kernfs_node is the primary data structure, and struct inode is only created from it on demand. Therefore, inode_init_owner() can't be used and we need to imitate its behavior.
S_ISGID support is useful for the cgroup filesystem; it allows subtrees managed by an unprivileged process to retain a certain owner gid, which then enables sharing access to the subtree with another unprivileged process.
