Subject: sysfs: sysfs_setattr remove unnecessary permission check.
X-Git-Tag: accepted/tizen/common/20141203.182822~13522^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e16acb503b42ef241a9396de7c5a1614c74d8ca6;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-arm64.git

sysfs: sysfs_setattr remove unnecessary permission check.

inode_change_ok already clears the SGID bit when necessary
so there is no reason for sysfs_setattr to carry code to do
the same, and it is good to kill the extra copy because when
I moved the code last in certain corner cases the code will
look at the wrong gid.
