No, there is no shared "tsec".
snet_ticket_check() is called from the process context. So "tsec" is
a pointer to the "void *security" pointer from its own "struct
task_struct".

every task_struct have a "tsec" allocated to its "void *security"
pointer.

I will take a second look on how to access the credentials COW.

Tetsuo, thank you again for reviewing.
