What about other modules? I have no idea what smack_setprocattr() is,
but it too does prepare_creds/commit creds.

For what it's worth, my test for Smack does not reproduce
the problem.


it seems that the simplest workaround should simply add the additional
cred == real_cred into proc_pid_attr_write().
