Temporarily lock Giant while we update td_ucred. The proc lock doesn't
fully protect p_ucred yet so Giant is needed until all the p_ucred locking is done. This is the original reason td_ucred was not used immediately after its addition. Unfortunately, not using td_ucred is not enough to avoid problems. Since p_ucred could be stale, we could actually be dereferencing a stale pointer to dink with the refcount, so we really need Giant to avoid foot-shooting. This allows td_ucred to be safely used as well.
