Subject: net: fix incorrect credentials passing
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 83f1b4ba917db5dc5a061a44b3403ddb6e783494 ]
Commit 257b5358b32f ("scm: Capture the full credentials of the scm
sender") changed the credentials passing code to pass in the effective
uid/gid instead of the real uid/gid.
Obviously this doesn't matter most of the time (since normally they are
the same), but it results in differences for suid binaries when the wrong
uid/gid ends up being used.
This just undoes that (presumably unintentional) part of the commit.
