[PATCH] CRED: Restore const to current_cred()

[PATCH] CRED: Restore const to current_cred()

[David Howells]

Commit 3295514841c2112d94451ba5deaf54f5afb78ea9 accidentally dropped the const
of current->cred inside current_cred() by the insertion of a cast to deal with
an RCU annotation loss warning from sparce.

Use an appropriate RCU wrapper instead so as not to lose the const.
