commit 11c2a8700cdcabf9b639b7204a1e38e2a0b6798e upstream.
[backport to 5.15.y, prior to vfsgid_t]
In setattr_{copy,prepare}() we need to perform the same permission
checks to determine whether we need to drop the setgid bit or not.
Instead of open-coding it twice add a simple helper the encapsulates the
logic. We will reuse this helpers to make dropping the setgid bit during
write operations more consistent in a follow up patch.

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.
