[PATCH net-next 03/10] sysfs: add sysfs_group_change_owner()

[Christian Brauner]

Add a helper to change the owner of a sysfs group.
The ownership of a sysfs object is determined based on the ownership of
the corresponding kobject, i.e. only if the ownership of a kobject is
changed will this function change the ownership of the corresponding
sysfs entry.
This function will be used to correctly account for kobject ownership
changes, e.g. when moving network devices between network namespaces.
