Subject: [PATCH] android, desktop: keep group link changes made just before
 Back

The group info is not shown while the "Group link" page is open over it,
and is shown anew after Back. A link created or deleted on that page
finishes in the background: when Back came first, the info was shown
with the link as it was before, and the late result went to the info
shown earlier, so it offered "Create group link" for a group that has a
link, or "Group link" for one that has none, until it was shown again.

Keep the loaded group link as state the info reads, so a late result
reaches the info that is shown.
