Save the 'struct cred' associated with a binder process
at initial open to avoid potential race conditions
when converting to an euid.
Set a transaction's sender_euid from the 'struct cred'
saved at binder_open() instead of looking up the euid
from the binder proc's 'struct task'. This ensures
the euid is associated with the security context that
of the task that opened binder.

v3: added this patch to series (as 3/3)
v5:
- combined with saving of 'struct cred' during binder_open()
- reordered to 1/1 as suggested by Stephen Smalley
