proc: io_accounting: Use new infrastructure to fix deadlocks in execve
This changes do_io_accounting to use the new exec_update_mutex instead of cred_guard_mutex. This fixes possible deadlocks when the trace is accessing /proc/$pid/io for instance. This should be safe, as the credentials are only used for reading. Signed-off-by: Bernd Edlinger <bernd.edlinger@hotmail.de> Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
