Post a new sitegroup to api/dcim/site-groups/ with data {"name":"name","slug":"slug","parent":< id >} where parent is id of an existing sitegroup.

Bug is already detected in the code here: https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/blob/master/netbox/dcim/api/serializers.py#L93
But it's not sure if it's the only cause.
