This patch-set implements the OA2_INHERIT_CRED flag for openat2() syscall.
It is needed to perform an open operation with the creds that were in
effect when the dir_fd was opened. This allows the process to pre-open
some dirs and switch eUID (and other UIDs/GIDs) to the less-privileged
user, while still retaining the possibility to open/create files within
the pre-opened directory set.
Changes in v2:
- capture full struct cred instead of just fsuid/fsgid.
