[PATCH v5 01/15] exec: Rename bprm->cred_prepared to called_set_creds

From: Kees Cook
Date: Tue Aug 01 2017 - 15:18:41 EST


The cred_prepared bprm flag has a misleading name. It has nothing to do
with the bprm_prepare_cred hook, and actually tracks if bprm_set_creds has
been called. Rename this flag and improve its comment.
