    If we enter user namespace via regular unshare without help from SUID
    newuidmap/newgidmap, all supplementary groups are mapped to -1. As the result
    when Go test tries to chown to a supplementary group, it gets EINVAL:
    
    https://github.com/golang/go/issues/42525
    
    -> work it around with patch to skip this chown tests.
    
    A more proper, longer-term fix would be to fix Linux kernel to allow writes to
    /proc/self/gid_map to setup mapping not only to original gid, but to all
    original supplementary groups as well here:
    
    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/kernel/user_namespace.c?id=v5.16-rc4-0-g0fcfb00b28c0#n1143
    
    this fix, even if accepted by upstream, would be long to be waited for to
    propagate to distribution kernels that we currently use. So we go with this
    workaround for now.
    
    --------
    
    Another patch is to fix the following TestSCMCredentials failure:
    
        === RUN   TestSCMCredentials
            creds_test.go:81: WriteMsgUnix failed with invalid argument, want EPERM
        --- FAIL: TestSCMCredentials (0.00s)
    
    There the code tries to send uid0/gid0 credentials from non-zero uid and
    expects EPERM reject from kernel. However under `unshare -Umc` uid0/gid0 are
    not mapped to anywhere and so implicitly map to -1 and are rejected with EINVAL
    by the kernel.
