Oleg Nesterov c70a626d3e umh: creds: kill subprocess_info->cred logic
Now that nobody ever changes subprocess_info->cred we can kill this member
and related code.  ____call_usermodehelper() always runs in the context of
freshly forked kernel thread, it has the proper ->cred copied from its
parent kthread, keventd.
