commit 2b3416ceff5e6bd4922f6d1c61fb68113dd82302 upstream.
[remove userns argument of helper for 5.4.y backport]
Add a dedicated helper to handle the setgid bit when creating a new file
in a setgid directory. This is a preparatory patch for moving setgid
stripping into the vfs. The patch contains no functional changes.
Currently the setgid stripping logic is open-coded directly in
inode_init_owner() and the individual filesystems are responsible for
handling setgid inheritance. Since this has proven to be brittle as
evidenced by old issues we uncovered over the last months (see [1] to
[3] below) we will try to move this logic into the vfs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
