e28fbd787c getgroups: document portability issues
Because I actually managed to hit deadlock in libvirt's child
process due to glibc's mutex use in user database lookup, I
figured it is worth documenting the issue for others to be
aware of when writing a privileged multithreaded parent app
that spawns child processes owned by non-privileged ids.
