The creator_file() function is called in the master object
each time a new object is created. The `filename' of the
object is passed as the sole parameter, and the string
that creator_file() returns is set as the new object's
uid. If the AUTO_SETEUID option is enabled at compile-
time of the driver, it is also set as the new object's
euid.
One exception: if the AUTO_TRUST_BACKBONE option is
enabled at compile-time of the driver, and creator_file()
returns the backbone uid (as specified by get_bb_uid() in
the master object), the object is given the uid and euid
of the object that loaded it.
