Obviously this doesn't matter most of the time (since normally they are the same), but it results in differences for suid binaries when the wrong uid/gid ends up being used. This just undoes that (presumably unintentional) part of the commit. Reported-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Serge E.
