ovl: make ioctl() safe

commit 89bdfaf93d9157499c3a0d61f489df66f2dead7f upstream.

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.
