Paul Moore b51543e9fb MAINTAINERS: add an explicit credentials entry
The lack of an explicit credential (kernel/cred.c) entry has caused
confusion in the past among new, and not-so-new developers, about where
to send credential patches for discussion and merging.  Those patches
that are sent can often rot on the mailing lists for months as there
is no clear maintainer tasked with reviewing and merging patches.

I'm volunteering for the cred maintainer role to try and reduce the
confusion and help cred patches find their way up to Linus' tree.  As
there generally aren't a lot of cred patches I'll start with simply
folding them into the LSM tree, but if this changes I'll setup a
dedicated cred tree.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
