[patch 2/9] fs: Add missing rcu protection for __task_cred() in sys_ioprio_get

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

[-- Attachment #1: fs-fix-missing-rcu-protection-of-__task_cred.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1112 bytes --]

sys_ioprio_get() accesses __task_cred() without being in a RCU read
side critical section. tasklist_lock is not protecting that when
CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y.

Add a rcu_read_lock/unlock() section around the code which accesses
__task_cred().
