nfsd: silence sparse warning about accessing credentials
sparse says: fs/nfsd/auth.c:31:38: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) fs/nfsd/auth.c:31:38: expected struct cred const *cred fs/nfsd/auth.c:31:38: got struct cred const [noderef] <asn:4>*real_cred Add a new accessor for the ->real_cred and use that to fetch the pointer. Accessing current->real_cred directly is actually quite safe since we know that they can't go away so this is mostly a cosmetic fixup to silence sparse.
