security: don't use RCU accessors for cred->session_keyring
sparse complains that a bunch of places in kernel/cred.c access
cred->session_keyring without the RCU helpers required by the __rcu
annotation.
cred->session_keyring is written in the following places:
- prepare_kernel_cred() [in a new cred struct]
- keyctl_session_to_parent() [in a new cred struct]
- prepare_creds [in a new cred struct, via memcpy]
- install_session_keyring_to_cred()
- from install_session_keyring() on new creds
- from join_session_keyring() on new creds [twice]
- from umh_keys_init()
- from call_usermodehelper_exec_async() on new creds
All of these writes are before the creds are committed; therefore,
cred->session_keyring doesn't need RCU protection.
Remove the __rcu annotation and fix up all existing users that use __rcu.
