[RFC][PATCH 2/4] fs: move file->f_cred initialization before security_file_alloc()

[Roberto Sassu]

The initialization of the 'f_cred' field of the file descriptor structure
has been moved before calling the function security_file_alloc() in order
to allow LSM security modules to use such information.
