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.
