Subject: [PATCH] cred: remove const qualifiers

get_new_cred clearly writes through the pointer, so const isn't
appropriate.  Sparse warns thusly:

include/linux/cred.h: In function ‘get_cred’:
include/linux/cred.h:181: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘get_new_cred’ discards qualifiers from pointer target type
