ChenJinhao (1):
    fix NULL dereference in real_cred

    When PAUSE-Loop-Exiting is triggered, it is possible that task->real_cred
    will be set to NULL. In this case, directly parsing euid and egid of real_cred in
    task_dump_owner will lead to NULL dereference and cause kernel panic like below.

    euid and egid are temporarily set here, and for certain modes, they will
    be updated to GLOBAL_ROOT_UID/GID by default when make_uid/make_gid
    returns invalid values.

    So, whether the NULL real_cred can also be considered as invalid value, and
    treat the same?
