Subject: [PATCH] ovl: fix random return value on mount
References: bnc#1060662
Patch-mainline: 4.12.4
Git-commit: 8fc646b44385ff0a9853f6590497e43049eeb311

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.
