fs/kernfs/dir: obey S_ISGID
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.
