af_unix: Remove put_pid()/put_cred() in copy_peercred().
[ Upstream commit e4bd881d987121dbf1a288641491955a53d9f8f7 ]
When (AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM) socket connect()s to a listening socket,
the listener's sk_peer_pid/sk_peer_cred are copied to the client in
copy_peercred().
Then, the client's sk_peer_pid and sk_peer_cred are always NULL, so
we need not call put_pid() and put_cred() there.
