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.
