NFSv4 state management tries a root credential when no machine credential is available, as can happen with kerberos. It does this by replacing the cl_machine_cred with a root credential. This means that any user of the machine credential needs to take a lock while getting a reference to the machine credential, which is a little cumbersome. So introduce an explicit cl_root_cred, and never free either credential until client shutdown. This means that no locking is needed to reference these credentials. Future patches will make use of this. This is only a temporary addition. both cl_machine_cred and cl_root_cred will disappear later in the series.

README
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.
