In do_acct_process(), file->f_cred may equal to current->real_cred, I 
confirm
it by adding some debug message in do_acct_process() like this:

--- a/kernel/acct.c
+++ b/kernel/acct.c
@@ -481,6 +481,7 @@ static void do_acct_process(struct bsd_acct_struct 
*acct)
         flim = current->signal->rlim[RLIMIT_FSIZE].rlim_cur;
         current->signal->rlim[RLIMIT_FSIZE].rlim_cur = RLIM_INFINITY;
         /* Perform file operations on behalf of whoever enabled 
accounting */
+       pr_info("task:%px new cred:%px real cred:%px cred:%px\n", 
current, file->f_cred, current->real_cred, current->cred);
         orig_cred = override_creds(file->f_cred);
