[Patch] Fix _dbus_group_info_free_allocated to not call itself recursively forever

Hmm, I wonder if this fixes a bug where dbus hangs on startup when one
of our users has ldap enabled in /etc/nsswitch.conf.

The code looks like it is doing the right thing.  Question though, why
does dbus_group_info_free need to move to dbus/dbus-sysdeps.c?  It
should only be used in the daemon right?
