Add a helper to change the owner of a set of sysfs groups file. The ownership of a sysfs object is determined based on the ownership of the corresponding kobject, i.e. only if the ownership of a kobject is changed will this function change the ownership of the corresponding sysfs entry. This function will be used to correctly account for kobject ownership changes, e.g. when moving network devices between network namespaces.
