Subject: [PATCH v2 -mm 2/2] umh && creds: kill subprocess_info->cred logic
Now that nobody ever changes subprocess_info->cred we can kill this
member and related code. ____call_usermodehelper() always runs in the
context of freshly forked kernel thread, it has the proper ->cred
copied from its parent kthread, keventd.
