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().
