The groups-related functions declared in include/linux/cred.h are defined in kernel/groups.c, which is compiled only when CONFIG_MULTIUSER=y. Move all these function declarations under #ifdef CONFIG_MULTIUSER to help avoid accidental usage in contexts where CONFIG_MULTIUSER might be disabled. This patch also adds a fallback for groups_search(). Currently this function is only called from kernel/groups.c itself and security/keys/permissions.c, where the call is (by coincidence) optimized away in case CONFIG_MULTIUSER=n. However, the audit subsystem (which does not depend on CONFIG_MULTIUSER) calls this function in -next, so the fallback will be needed to avoid compilation errors or ugly workarounds.
