syscall: don't call Setgroups if Credential.Groups is empty

Setgroups with zero-length groups is no-op for changing groups and
supposed to be used only for determining curent groups length. Also
because we deny setgroups by default if use GidMappings we have
unnecessary error from that no-op syscall.
