[PATCH] shift current_cred() from __f_setown() to f_modown()

[Oleg Nesterov]

Shift current_cred() from __f_setown() to f_modown(). This reduces
the number of arguments and saves 48 bytes from fs/fcntl.o.

Ok, I know I asked for this, but now I suddenly start worrying about 
whether f_owner.uid/euid are initialized at all for the pid==NULL case?

They used to be initialized to zero, now they are left alone. Are they 
initialized somewhere else earlier?

I think this is fine, but I should have mentioned this in the changelog.

If f_owner.pid == NULL we never use f_owner.uid/euid. Otherwise we have
a bug anyway: we must not send signals if pid was reset to NULL.

[PATCH] send_sigio_to_task: sanitize the usage of fown->signum

[Oleg Nesterov]

send_sigio_to_task() reads fown->signum several times, we can race with
F_SETSIG which changes ->signum lockless. In theory, this can fool security
checks or we can call group_send_sig_info() with the wrong ->si_signo which
does not match "int sig".

Change the code to cache ->signum.
