	Subject: CRED: Fix memory leak in error handling

attempts to fix a memory leak in the error handling by making the offending
return statement into a jump down to the bottom of the function where a
kfree(tgcred) is inserted.

This is, however, incorrect, as it does a kfree() after doing put_cred() if
security_prepare_creds() fails.  That will result in a double free if 'error'
is jumped to as put_cred() will also attempt to free the new tgcred record by
virtue of it being pointed to by the new cred record.
