CRED: Restore const to current_cred()
Commit 3295514841c2 ("fix rcu annotations noise in cred.h") accidentally dropped the const of current->cred inside current_cred() by the insertion of a cast to deal with an RCU annotation loss warning from sparce. Use an appropriate RCU wrapper instead so as not to lose the const. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Paul E.
