Serge E. Hallyn b03df87d11 CRED: Holding a spinlock does not imply the holding of RCU read lock 
Change the credentials documentation to make it clear that the RCU read lock
must be explicitly held when accessing credentials pointers in some other task
than current.  Holding a spinlock does not implicitly hold the RCU read lock.
