The get_backchannel_cred() used to return error pointers on error but
now it returns NULL pointers.
Fixes: 97f68c6b02e0 ("SUNRPC: add 'struct cred *' to auth_cred and rpc_cre")

Thanks! Queueing up for 4.21 and stable.
Off the top of my head I don't recall bug reports that could be
explained by this. Perhaps it's hard to get a failure at this point
without failing somewhere earlier? But I think it's likely possible to
trigger a NULL dereference somehow.
