In the process of removing an explicit type cast to preserve a cred
const qualifier in cred_init_security() we ran into a problem where
the task_struct::real_cred field is defined with the "__rcu"
attribute but the selinux_cred() function parameter is not, leading
to a sparse warning:
security/selinux/hooks.c:216:36: sparse: sparse:
incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
@@ expected struct cred const *cred
@@ got struct cred const [noderef] __rcu *real_cred
As we don't want to add the "__rcu" attribute to the selinux_cred()
parameter, we're going to add an explicit cast back to
cred_init_security().
