I am slightly lost in how this code is supposed to work.
It looks like we are sending random garbage instead of the real permissions to
the module. In init_staprun we have:

privilege_t user_credentials;
and call insert_stap_module(& user_credentials) to initialize the credentials
so we can then call send_privilege_credentials(user_credentials);

insert_stap_module calls insert_module(modpath, special_options,
                                             modoptions,
                                             assert_stap_module_permissions,
                                             user_credentials);

Where assert_stap_module_permissions is the callback function to actually set
the credentials. But assert_stap_module_permissions () doesn't set
user_credentials when getuid() == 0.

Am I missing something?
