David Howells 8f92054e7c CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner comment
Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation
condition:

	lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held()

as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the
functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent
detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held.

Instead, add the following validation condition:

	task->exit_state >= 0

to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change
its own credentials.

Fix __task_cred()'s comment to:

 (1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task
     from being deleted.  That shouldn't need saying.

 (2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed
     directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used
     instead.

Also put a note into the documentation to enforce this point there too.
