Subject: [PATCH 05/12] seq_file: set the seq_file->f_cred during seq_open()
The f_cred field of the file struct contains the cred of current at
open time. This field can be used to get the context of open, and track
current's cred changes after.
The procfs is one of those fs that need to track current cred changes
in order to implement proper permission checks on each system call.
Set the seq_file->f_cred to file->f_cred during seq_open().
