Subject: [PATCH] fs: Add missing rcu protection for __task_cred() in sys_ioprio_get

commit 8f4200b312eb06ab405d2c6d0075ce4bebf738dd in tip.

sys_ioprio_get() accesses __task_cred() without being in a RCU read
side critical section. tasklist_lock is not protecting that when
CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y.

Add a rcu_read_lock/unlock() section around the code which accesses
__task_cred().
