{{{
Description of problem:
The RFC2307bis initgroups code contains a bug where SSSD may go into infinite
loop when processing certain nested group memberships.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.5.1-63.el6

Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure a nested group membership structure where a single group is present
in different nesting levels. Please note that a simple cycle is not sufficient.
2. add a user to the groups
3. id

So as an example: Group A has two member groups: Group B and Group C. Group B
also has Group C as a member.

Group A
|
- Group B
| |
| - Group C
|
- Group C

Actual results:
sssd_be spins in a tight loop, consuming 100% CPU

Expected results:
initgroups completes normally
