SUNRPC: remove all refcounting of groupinfo from rpcauth_lookupcred
current_cred() can only be changed by 'current', and cred->group_info is never changed. If a new group_info is needed, a new 'cred' is created. Consequently it is always safe to access current_cred()->group_info without taking any further references. So drop the refcounting and the incorrect rcu_dereference().
