3.16.61-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit ae4b884fc6316b3190be19448cea24b020c1cad6 upstream.
sparse says:
fs/nfsd/auth.c:31:38: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
fs/nfsd/auth.c:31:38: expected struct cred const *cred
fs/nfsd/auth.c:31:38: got struct cred const [noderef] <asn:4>*real_cred
Add a new accessor for the ->real_cred and use that to fetch the
pointer. Accessing current->real_cred directly is actually quite safe
since we know that they can't go away so this is mostly a cosmetic fixup
to silence sparse.
