When the key cached by request_key() and co. is cleaned up on exit(), the code looks in the wrong task_struct, and so clears the wrong cache. This leads to anomalies in key refcounting when doing, say, a kernel build on an afs volume, that then trigger kasan to report a use-after-free when the key is viewed in /proc/keys. Fix this by making exit_creds() look in the passed-in task_struct rather than in current (the task_struct cleanup code is deferred by RCU and potentially run in another task).
