NFS: pass cred explicitly for access tests
Storing the 'struct cred *' in nfs_access_entry is problematic. An active 'cred' can keep a 'struct key *' active, and a quota is imposed on the number of such keys that a user can maintain. Cached 'nfs_access_entry' structs have indefinite lifetime, and having these keep 'struct key's alive imposes on that quota. So a future patch will remove the ->cred ref from nfs_access_entry. To prepare, change various functions to not assume there is a 'cred' in the nfs_access_entry, but to pass the cred around explicitly.
