cred: add get_cred_rcu()
Sometimes we want to opportunistically get a ref to a cred in an rcu_read_lock protected section. get_task_cred() does this, and NFS does as similar thing with its own credential structures. To prepare for NFS converting to use 'struct cred' more uniformly, define get_cred_rcu(), and use it in get_task_cred().
