[PATCH v2 1/5] attr: add setattr_drop_sgid()

[Christian Brauner <brauner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In setattr_{copy,prepare}() we need to perform the same permission
checks to determine whether we need to drop the setgid bit or not.
Instead of open-coding it twice add a simple helper the encapsulates the
logic. We will reuse this helpers to make dropping the setgid bit during
write operations more consistent in a follow up patch.
