Subject: [CFT][PATCH 7/7] userns: Allow setting gid_maps without privilege when setgroups is disabled


Now that setgroups can be disabled and not reenabled, setting gid_map
without privielge can now be enabled when setgroups is disabled.

This restores most of the functionality that was lost when unprivilege
setting of gid_map was removed.  Applications that use this
functionality will need to check to see if they use setgroups or
init_groups, and if they don't they can be fixed by simply
disabling of setgroups before they run.
