This makes no sense. If cred is NULL, why not just return it?

This function devolves into a call to get_cred(sk->sk_peer_cred).
What value does it add?

Same here. Just return landlock_get_current_domain().

Again, a function that does nothing but wrap another function
adds no value and consumes stack and processing resources.
