2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

commit 3440625d78711bee41a84cf29c3d8c579b522666 upstream.

The new credentials code broke load_flat_shared_library() as it now uses
an uninitialized cred pointer.
