Public bug reported:

ltp syscalls open10 and and creat08 try to create an sgid executable
file inside a sgid directory owned by a group whose members do not
include the process user.

That used to work up to commit 0fa3ecd87848c9c93c2c828ef4c3a8ca36ce46c7
("Fix up non-directory creation in SGID directories").

This was backported to 4.17.9 and so affects the current kernel in
cosmic proposed, and breaks such ltp tests.
