Set a transaction's sender_euid from the 'struct cred'

the euid is associated with the security context that

v3: added this patch to series

 drivers/android/binder.c | 2 +-
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
This is an interesting ordering of the patches.  Unless I'm missing
something I would have expected patch 3/3 to come first, followed by
2/3, with patch 1/3 at the end; basically the reverse of what was
posted here.

My reading of the previous thread was that Casey has made his peace
with these changes so unless anyone has any objections I'll plan on
merging 2/3 and 3/3 into selinux/stable-5.15 and merging 1/3 into
selinux/next.
