instead of "curlwp->l_cred".

i'm not sure if this kind of micro-optimization makes much sense.
i'm not sure which of using curlwp or passing an lwp pointer around is
generally faster.  if the latter is significantly preferable,
how about kauth_cred_get_lwp which takes an lwp pointer and KASSERT
that it's curlwp?
given that it's generally unsafe to use l->l_cred unless l == curlwp,
having raw "l->l_cred" sprinkled is not a good idea, IMO.
