[PATCH] cred: Fix RCU warnings in override/revert_creds

[Herbert Xu]

Fix RCU warnings in override_creds and revert_creds by turning
the RCU pointer into a normal pointer using rcu_replace_pointer.

These warnings were previously private to the cred code, but due
to the move into the header file they are now polluting unrelated
subsystems.

Fixes: 49dffdfde462 ("cred: Add a light version of override/revert_creds()")
