Re: [PATCH v5 0/3] binder: use cred instead of task for security context

This series fixes the possible use of an incorrect security context
when checking selinux permissions, getting a security ID, or lookup
up the euid.

The previous behavior was to save the group_leader 'struct task_struct'
in binder_open() and using that to obtain security IDs or euids.

This has been shown to be unreliable, so this series instead saves the
'struct cred' of the task that called binder_open(). This cred is used
for these lookups instead of the task.

v1 and v2 of this series were a single patch "binder: use euid from"
cred instead of using task". During review, Stephen Smalley identified
two more related issues so the corresponding patches were added to
the series.

v3:
- add 2 patches to fix getsecid and euid

v4:
- fix minor checkpatch issues
- fix build-break for !CONFIG_SECURITY

v5:
- reorder/refactor patches as suggested by Stephen Smalley so eiud fix
  is first and saves the cred during binder_open()
- set *secid=0 for !CONFIG_SECURITY version of secuirty_cred_getsecid()

  binder: use euid from cred instead of using task
  binder: use cred instead of task for selinux checks
  binder: use cred instead of task for getsecid
