commit 6e9be5bd74d75dd5ec2c51ad1a783f4ac418cad1
Author: Dave Brolley <brolley@redhat.com>

    PR 13128: Backward compatibility for stapusr and stapdev level modules.
    
    If no privilege credentials are passed to the module, we can assume that
    the module was loaded directly by a root level user (insmod) or by an
    older version of staprun (less than 1.7). In the latter case, if the module
    requires stapusr or stapdev credentials, we can assume that staprun did the
    right thing and that the module is safe to run. Otherwise, the required
    privilege level is unknown to the old staprun and we must abort.
