[cifs-utils PATCH v4 2/4] cifs.upcall: switch group IDs when handling an upcall

Currently, we leave the group ID alone, but in a later patch we'll be
changing cifs.upcall to scrape $KRB5CCNAME out of the originating
process. At that point, we want to be a little more careful with the
process credentials we'll be using.

After we get the uid, do a getpwuid and grab the default gid for the
user. Then use setgid to set it before calling setuid.
