2/3 and 3/3 both depend on 1/3 (add "cred" member of struct
binder_proc). I kept that in 1/3 to keep that patch the same as what
had already been reviewed. I didn't think much about the ordering
between 2/3 and 3/3 -- but I agree that it would have been sensible to
reverse their order.

Thanks Paul. I'm not familiar with the branch structure, but you need
1/3 in selinux/stable-5.15 to resolve the dependency on proc->cred.
