Jerome Marchand 0776127797 kernel/groups.c: fix integer overflow in groups_search ...

commit 1c24de60e5 upstream.

gid_t is a unsigned int.  If group_info contains a gid greater than
MAX_INT, groups_search() function may look on the wrong side of the search
tree.

This solves some unfair "permission denied" problems.
