4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 8fc646b44385ff0a9853f6590497e43049eeb311 upstream.
On failure to prepare_creds(), mount fails with a random
return value, as err was last set to an integer cast of
a valid lower mnt pointer or set to 0 if inodes index feature
is enabled.
Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
Fixes: 3fe6e52f0626 ("ovl: override creds with the ones from ...")
