If an unprivileged program opens a setgid file for write and passes
the fd to a privileged program and the privileged program writes to
it, we currently fail to clear the setgid bit. Fix it by checking
f_cred in addition to current's creds whenever a struct file is
involved.
I'm checking both because I'm nervous about preserving the SUID and
SGID bits in any situation in which they're not currently preserved
and because Ben Hutchings suggested doing it this way.
I don't know why we check capabilities at all, and we could probably
get away with clearing the setgid bit regardless of capabilities,
but this change should be less likely to break some weird program.
This mitigates exploits that take advantage of world-writable setgid
files or directories.
