Turns out it wasn't as bad as it looks because inode_change_ok already
does what I am trying to do properly.
Although come to think of it, SGID on a sysfs file is completely bogus.
We don't exec files and we don't allow users to create anything.
I have already sent the follow up patch to remove those few lines of code.
