commit f7285b5d631fd6096b11c6af0058ed3a2b30ef4e upstream.

Since this cred was not created with copy_creds(), it needs to get
initialized.  Otherwise use of syscall(__NR_keyctl, KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
can lead to a NULL deref.  Thanks to Robert for finding this.

But introduced by commit 47a150edc2a ("Cache user_ns in struct cred").
