ovl: make ioctl() safe
ovl_ioctl_set_flags() does a capability check using flags, but then the
real ioctl double-fetches flags and uses potentially different value.
The "Check the capability before cred override" comment misleading: user
can skip this check by presenting benign flags first and then overwriting
them to non-benign flags.
Just remove the cred override for now, hoping this doesn't cause a
regression.
The proper solution is to create a new setxflags i_op (patches are in the
works).
Xfstests don't show a regression.
