Storing the 'struct cred *' in nfs_access_entry is problematic.
An active 'cred' can keep a 'struct key *' active, and a quota is
imposed on the number of such keys that a user can maintain.
Cached 'nfs_access_entry' structs have indefinite lifetime, and having
these keep 'struct key's alive imposes on that quota.
So remove the 'struct cred *' and replace it with the fields we need:
kuid_t, kgid_t, and struct group_info *
This makes the 'struct nfs_access_entry' 64 bits larger.
New function "access_cmp" is introduced which is identical to
cred_fscmp() except that the second arg is an 'nfs_access_entry', rather
than a 'cred'
Fixes: b68572e07c ("NFS: change access cache to use 'struct cred'.")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
