    pf: Set the pfik_group for userspace
    
    Userspace relies on this pointer to work out if the kif is a group or
    not. It can't use it for anything else, because it's a pointer to a
    kernel address. Substitute 0xfeedc0de for 'true', so that we don't leak
    kernel memory addresses to userspace.
