+Subject: cred: allow get_cred() and put_cred() to be given NULL.
+
+From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com>
+
+commit f06bc03339ad4c1baa964a5f0606247ac1c3c50b upstream.
+
+It is common practice for helpers like this to silently,
+accept a NULL pointer.
+get_rpccred() and put_rpccred() used by NFS act this way
+and using the same interface will ease the conversion
+for NFS, and simplify the resulting code.
