Hmm, ok, I have no idea about the root cause of this problem, but I did 
notice one thing about selinux_cred_free() that's different than most 
other freeing functions in the kernel. It does not accept a NULL value.
Most other freeing functions will just return if passed NULL, but 
selinux_cred_free() will crash.
I wonder if it would make sense to add a NULL 'short circuit' to that 
function? If so, please pick up the patch below.
