Subject[PATCH 4.12 113/196] ovl: fix random return value on mount
Date
4.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>

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@oracle.com>
Fixes: 3fe6e52f0626 ("ovl: override creds with the ones from ...")
