Description of problem:
Failed to create a host using a nested hostgroup because all values that inherited from the parent host group are not set, such has content_view_id, content_source_id, lifecycle_environment_id and kickstart_repository_id.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a parent hostgroup. Set the content source, content_view, lifecycle environment and the synced content.
2. Create a nested hostgroup that inherit the above values.
3. Create a host using the nested hostgroup.

hammer host create --name "my-test-client1" --hostgroup-id <the nested hostgroup id> --location "Default Location" --organization "MYORG" --mac="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" --domain-id 1 --ask-root-password yes --subnet apac-mps --ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Actual results:
Could not create the host:
Medium can't be blank
Content view can't be blank
Lifecycle environment can't be blank

Expected results:
host created successfully

Additional info:
The "inherited_#{attribute}" method returns an array so rails is unable to set the nested attribute.

1. foreman-rake console
   Satellite 6.8 output: Hostgroup.find(21).inherited_kickstart_repository_id
   => 707 <========== Correct

Satellite 6.9 output: Hostgroup.find(21).inherited_kickstart_repository_id
=> [707] <========= Wrong

Make the following change in "/opt/theforeman/tfm/root/usr/share/gems/gems/katello-3.18.1.27/app/models/katello/concerns/hostgroup_extensions.rb" fixed the issue.
