Pull cred refcount updates from Christian Brauner:
"For the v6.13 cycle we switched overlayfs to a variant of
override_creds() that doesn't take an extra reference. To this end the
{override,revert}_creds_light() helpers were introduced.
This generalizes the idea behind {override,revert}_creds_light() to
the {override,revert}_creds() helpers. Afterwards overriding and
reverting credentials is reference count free unless the caller
explicitly takes a reference.
All callers have been appropriately ported"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
