security_task_getsecid(current) will give the same results as
security_cred_getsecid(current_creds())
Unwinding security_task_getsecid(current) looks like it is using
real_cred, while current_cred() is using cred.
Good question, and there's a current_real_cred() macro, so I should
just use that instead.
Hm. Actually, I'm not sure. For most checks we were using cred, and
only using real_cred for the secid lookup. This feels somewhat
inconsistent.
