Update the import of `AlwaysRefCounted` in `cred.rs` to use `sync::aref`
instead of `types`.

Thank you for forwarding, Miguel.

As far as I can see from the included links, this looks good.

This is part of the ongoing effort to move `ARef` and
`AlwaysRefCounted` to the `sync` module for better modularity.

As mentioned previously, I'm still not well versed in Rust so as long
as Serge is happy with it, I'm good with it too :)

I'm guessing it probably makes sense to include rust/kernel/cred.rs in
the creds MAINTAINERS section just as we did (or will do) with the LSM
Rust shim?

That would make sense to me.

Okay, patch sent.

My understanding is that this patch, unlike the pin-init one, is
intended to go through the LSM / CRED tree rather than taking
everything through a shared tree with Acked-bys.

In that case, I've gone ahead and merged Shankari's patch into lsm/dev
and will plan to send it up to Linus during the next merge window.  If
something changes and the Rust folks want to send this up via a Rust
tree just let me know and I'll drop the patch.
