[PATCH 1/6] ovl: add prepare_creds_ovl cleanup guard

[Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>]

The current code to override credentials for creation operations is
pretty difficult to understand. We effectively override the credentials
twice:

(1) override with the mounter's credentials
(2) copy the mounts credentials and override the fs{g,u}id with the inode {u,g}id

And then we elide the revert because it would be an idempotent revert.
That elision doesn't buy us anything anymore though because I've made it
all work without any reference counting anyway. All it does is mix the
two credential overrides together.

We can use a cleanup guard to clarify the creation codepaths and make
them easier to understand.

This just introduces the cleanup guard keeping the patch reviewable.
We'll convert the caller in follow-up patches and then drop the
duplicated code.
