Subject[PATCH 14/13] sysfs: sysfs_setattr remove unnecessary permission check.
From
Date

inode_change_ok already clears the SGID bit when necessary so there is
no reason for sysfs_setattr to carry code to do the same, and it is
good to kill the extra copy because when I moved the code, I goofed
and in certain corner cases the code will look at the wrong gid.
