[BK SUMMARY] remove NGROUPS hard limit (resend)

[Timothy Hockin]

Linus,

This patchset removes the hard NGROUPS limit.  It has been in use in a similar
form (but with a sysctl-set limit) on our systems for some time.

I have a separate patch to convert XFS to the generic qsort(), which I will
bounce to SGI if/when this gets pulled.

There is a small change needed for glibc, and I will send that patch to the
glibc people if/when this gets pulled.

Lastly, this does not fixup all the architectures.  I have other patchsets for
that, which need to be reviewed by arch maintainers.

Tim

<thockin@freakshow.cobalt.com> (02/11/05 1.933)
   no one references nfsiod.h anymore - nix it.

<thockin@freakshow.cobalt.com> (02/11/05 1.932)
   fix usage of NGROUPS in nfsd and svcauth

<thockin@freakshow.cobalt.com> (02/11/05 1.931)
   Remove the limit of 32 groups.  We now have a per-task, dynamic array of
   groups, which is kept sorted and refcounted.
   
   This ChangeSet incorporates all the core functionality. but does not fixup
   all the incorrect usages of groups.  That is in a seperate ChangeSet.

<thockin@freakshow.cobalt.com> (02/11/05 1.930)
   Add generic qsort() and bsearch(): qsort() from BSD, bsearch() from glibc
