Use override_creds_light() in ovl_override_creds() and revert_creds_light() in ovl_revert_creds(). The _light() functions do not change the 'usage' of the credentials in question, as they refer to the credentials associated with the mounter, which have a longer lifetime. In ovl_setup_cred_for_create(), do not need to modify the mounter credentials (returned by override_creds_light()) 'usage' counter. Add a warning to verify that we are indeed working with the mounter credentials (stored in the superblock). Failure in this assumption means that creds may leak.

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.
