Eric Dumazet 231bed2058 [PATCH] No need to protect current->group_info in sys_getgroups(), in_group_p() and in_egroup_p() 
While doing some benchmarks of an Apache/PHP SMP server, I noticed high
oprofile numbers in in_group_p() and _atomic_dec_and_lock().

rank  percent
  1     4.8911 % __link_path_walk
  2     4.8503 % __d_lookup
*3     4.2911 % _atomic_dec_and_lock
  4     3.9307 % __copy_to_user_ll
  5     4.9004 % sysenter_past_esp
*6     3.3248 % in_group_p

It appears that in_group_p() does an uncessary

get_group_info(current->group_info); /* atomic_inc() */
  ... /* access current->group_info */
put_group_info(current->group_info); /* _atomic_dec_and_lock */

It is not necessary to do this, because the current task holds a reference
on its own group_info, and this reference cannot change during the lookup.

This patch deletes the get_group_info()/put_group_info() pair from
sys_getgroups(), in_group_p() and in_egroup_p() functions.
