From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 7b279bbfd2b230c7a210ff8f405799c7e46bbf48 upstream. Smatch complains about missing that the ovl_override_creds() doesn't have a matching revert_creds() if the dentry is disconnected. Fix this by moving the ovl_override_creds() until after the disconnected check.
