In testing, we found that nfsd threads may call set_groups in parallel for
the same entry cached in auth.unix.gid, racing in the call of groups_sort,
corrupting the groups for that entry and leading to permission denials for
the client.
This patch:
- Make groups_sort globally visible.
- Move the call to groups_sort to the modifiers of group_info
- Remove the call to groups_sort from set_groups
