Subject: [PATCH] bsdacct: fix uid/gid misreporting (#14676)

commit d8e180dcd5bbbab9cd3ff2e779efcf70692ef541
"bsdacct: switch credentials for writing to the accounting file"
introduced credential switching during final acct data collecting.
However, uid/gid pair continued to be collected from current which
became credentials of who created acct file, not who exits.

Fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14676
