* src/utils/ecryptfs-setup-private: fix bug where setup-private
incorrectly assumed that the home/private dir ownerships should
be owned by USER:USER; instead, default to USER:GROUP, where
GROUP is the USER's primary group by default, cherry-pick upstream

Bug description:
when adding a user with an encrypted home directory passing the group ID from
the CLI, the utility fail to set the permissions to the .ecryptfs and .Private
directory.
Here is an example:
adduser --uid 1030 --gid 115 --encrypt-home lmondesi
...
chown: invalid group: `lmondesi:lmondesi'
chown: invalid group: `lmondesi:lmondesi'
chown: invalid group: `lmondesi:lmondesi'
chown: invalid group: `lmondesi:lmondesi'
chown: invalid group: `lmondesi:lmondesi'
This causes the permissions for the
/home/.ecryptfs/lmondesi/.{ecryptfs,Private} which obviously prevents it from
being mounted
lmond...@zod:/home/.ecryptfs/lmondesi$ ls -la
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2009-10-07 05:30 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-10-07 05:30 ..
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2009-10-07 05:30 .ecryptfs
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2009-10-07 05:30 .Private
