tun: revert fix group permission check
This reverts commit 3ca459eaba1bf96a8c7878de84fa8872259a01e3. The blamed commit caused a regression when neither tun->owner nor tun->group is set. This is intended to be allowed, but now requires CAP_NET_ADMIN. Discussion in the referenced thread pointed out that the original issue that prompted this patch can be resolved in userspace. The relaxed access control may also make a device accessible when it previously wasn't, while existing users may depend on it to not be. This is a clean pure git revert, except for fixing the indentation on the gid_valid line that checkpatch correctly flagged.
