[PATCH v3 2/3] binder: use cred instead of task for getsecid

[Todd Kjos]

Use the 'struct cred' saved at binder_open() to lookup
the security ID via security_cred_getsecid(). This
ensures that the security context that opened binder
is the one used to generate the secctx.

Fixes: ec74136ded79 ("binder: create node flag to request sender's
security context")
