pass creds to get_empty_filp(), make sure dentry_open() passes the right creds
... and rename get_empty_filp() to alloc_empty_file(). dentry_open() gets creds as argument, but the only thing that sees those is security_file_open() - file->f_cred still ends up with current_cred(). For almost all callers it's the same thing, but there are several broken cases. Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
