I think this will be easier to read if you keep just the
different actions in the if/else to make clear what's being
done differently, so something like:

	if (flags & CLONE_NEWUSER) {
		nsset->cred = prepare_creds();
	else
		nsset->cred = current_cred();

	if (!nsset->cred)
		goto out;
	if (IS_ERR(nsset->cred)) {
		err = PTR_ERR(nsset->cred);
		nsset->cred = NULL;
		goto out;
	}

It's not beautiful, but it makes clear what CLONE_NEWUSER is
doing.
