I thought that "take care of" should be clear enough, and it
mentions put_cred().

This just tries to explain why the patch didn't change the
caller instead, the patch would be even simpler.

OK. When I reread it I agree, it could be more clear. Trust me,
this was not intentional. I did not try to "hide" the fact this
patch fixes the easily triggable memory leak.

It would be just silly, exactly because it was not me who founf
the bug!
