Actually the malloc/free was on every call to sys_set/getgroups,
not just those in the compat code.

One benefit of my changes is that the NGROUPS constant is no
longer in the sys_setgroups() functions, possibly allowing it
to be dynamically changable (etc) without changing the interface
to LKM compat code.
