Why do we need a put_cred() here?

Being paranoid for the case of stacked modules. Say first module allocated
creds but second module returned error, in that case creds will have to
be freed.

I can get rid of it for now and if in future two LSMs implement this hook,
one can change it, if need be.

Thanks
