This can be fixed either by fixing the test or by moving the increment to be before the test. Fix it my moving copy_creds which contains the increment before is_ucounts_overlimit. In the case of CLONE_NEWUSER the ucounts in the task_cred changes. The function is_ucounts_overlimit needs to use the final version of the ucounts for the new process. Which means moving the is_ucounts_overlimit test after copy_creds is necessary. Both the test in fork and the test in set_user were semantically changed when the code moved to ucounts. The change of the test in fork was bad because it was before the increment. The test in set_user was wrong and the change to ucounts fixed it. So this fix only restores the old behavior in one lcation not two.
