Replace :c:func: with ``func()`` as the previous usage is deprecated.
Remove an extra ')' to fix broken cross reference.

When making access control choices from a file-based context, f_cred
must be used instead of current_cred() to avoid confused deputy attacks
where an open file may get passed to a more privileged process. Add a
short paragraph to explicitly state the rationale.

Whilst making an unrelated change to some Documentation, Linus sayeth:
| Afaik, even in Britain, "whilst" is unusual and considered more
| formal, and "while" is the common word.
|
| [...]
|
| Can we just admit that we work with computers, and we don't need to
| use þe eald Englisc spelling of words that most of the world never
| uses?
dictionary.com refers to the word as "Chiefly British", which is
probably an undesirable attribute for technical documentation.
Replace all occurrences under Documentation/ with "while".

This patch updates the documentation with the observations that led
to commit bdcf0a423ea1 ("kernel: make groups_sort calling a
responsibility group_info allocators") and the new behaviour required.
Specifically that groups_sort() should be called on a new group_list
before set_groups() or set_current_groups() is called.
