[PATCH] cred: use correct cred accessor with regards to rcu read lock

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Thu May 17 2012 - 17:30:32 EST


Commit "userns: Convert setting and getting uid and gid system calls to use
kuid and kgid has modified the accessors in wait_task_continued() and
wait_task_stopped() to use __task_cred() instead of task_uid().

__task_cred() assumes that we're inside a rcu read lock, which is untrue
for these two functions.

Modify it to use task_uid() instead.
