Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] kernel/cgroup: use kernfs_create_dir_ns()

By passing the fsugid to kernfs_create_dir_ns(), we don't need
cgroup_kn_set_ugid() any longer. That function was added for exactly
this purpose by commit 49957f8e2a43 ("cgroup: newly created dirs and
files should be owned by the creator").

Eliminating this piece of duplicate code means we benefit from future
improvements to kernfs_create_dir_ns(); for example, both are lacking
S_ISGID support currently, which my next patch will add to
kernfs_create_dir_ns(). It cannot (easily) be added to
cgroup_kn_set_ugid() because we can't dereference struct kernfs_iattrs
from there.

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] fs/kernfs/dir: obey S_ISGID

Handling of S_ISGID is usually done by inode_init_owner() in all other
filesystems, but kernfs doesn't use that function. In kernfs, struct
kernfs_node is the primary data structure, and struct inode is only
created from it on demand. Therefore, inode_init_owner() can't be
used and we need to imitate its behavior.

S_ISGID support is useful for the cgroup filesystem; it allows
subtrees managed by an unprivileged process to retain a certain owner
gid, which then enables sharing access to the subtree with another
unprivileged process.

Applied to cgroup/for-6.8. Greg, can you please take the second patch?
