The function groups_get_invites_for_user() can return inconsistent total

[imath]

Now that Group invites are managed using the BP Invitations API, it looks like the total of groups can be inconsistent into this function. I've found a case where there were no groups found and the total was 1. The reason was the $wpdb . 'bp_invitations' table was containing an invite for a group that has been deleted.

Is there a reason why we don't use the total number of groups returned by the groups_get_groups() and use instead groups_get_invite_count_for_user() which run an extra DB query that can be wrong...
