2018-01-08Documentation: security/credentials.rst: explain need to sort group_listNeilBrown1-0/+7
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.
