ANDROID: regression introduced override_creds=off



Fixes a regression introduced by the series of commits:
commit 17bd9a7f
("ANDROID: overlayfs ovl_create_of_link regression"),
commit 272fcd1ca7ceb252b1c3a2961110c7c1722707cf
("ANDROID: overlayfs: override_creds=off option bypass creator_cred"),
commit aab9adb4
("Merge 4.4.179 into android-4.4") that took in an incomplete,
backport of commit 54a07fff
("ovl: fix uid/gid when creating over whiteout") (or upstream
commit d0e13f5bbe4be7c8f27736fc40503dcec04b7de0
("ovl: fix uid/gid when creating over whiteout"))
where a crash is observed a crash in ovl_create_or_link() when a
simple re-direction command in vendor directory.

/vendor/bin/<Any test> > /vendor/bin/test_log.txt 2>&amp;1&

After further debugging we see that if the output is redirected to a
file which doesn’t exist we see this stack:

[  377.382745]  ovl_create_or_link+0xac/0x710
[  377.382745]  ovl_create_object+0xb8/0x110
[  377.382745]  ovl_create+0x34/0x40
[  377.382745]  path_openat+0xd44/0x15a8
[  377.382745]  do_filp_open+0x80/0x128
[  377.382745]  do_sys_open+0x140/0x250
[  377.382745]  __arm64_sys_openat+0x2c/0x38

ovl_override_creds returns NULL because the override_cred flag is set
to false.  This causes ovl_revert_creds also to fail.

There is another call to check override_cred in override_cred call
which overrides the creds permanently as there no revert_creds
associated.  So whenever next commit_cred is called we see the crash
as the credentials are permanently overridden.
