When the group_info is cached (e.g. sunrpc) there's the possibility that threads calling set_groups will attempt to do so simultaneously.
Moving the responsibility of sorting to the caller of set_groups, or in the case of nfsd, to the point where it is received from rpc.mountd avoids this issue.
Moving it to the caller has the added benifit of a slight improvement on the nfsd performance.
