    SUNRPC: add 'struct cred *' to auth_cred and rpc_cred · 97f68c6b
    NeilBrown authored
    The SUNRPC credential framework was put together before
    Linux has 'struct cred'.  Now that we have it, it makes sense to
    use it.
    This first step just includes a suitable 'struct cred *' pointer
    in every 'struct auth_cred' and almost every 'struct rpc_cred'.
    
    The rpc_cred used for auth_null has a NULL 'struct cred *' as nothing
    else really makes sense.
    
    For rpc_cred, the pointer is reference counted.
    For auth_cred it isn't.  struct auth_cred are either allocated on
    the stack, in which case the thread owns a reference to the auth,
    or are part of 'struct generic_cred' in which case gc_base owns the
    reference, and "acred" shares it.
