From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This reverts commit b493af3a66e067f93e5e03465507866ddeabff9e which is commit bbb6d0f3e1feb43d663af089c7dedb23be6a04fb upstream. The "original" commit 905ae01c4ae2 ("Add a reference to ucounts for each cred"), should not have been applied to the 5.10.y tree, so revert it, and the follow-on fixup patches as well.
