4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> [ 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.
