[RESEND PATCH v18 4/4] overlayfs: inode_owner_or_capable called during execv

[Mark Salyzyn]

From: John Stultz <john.stu...@linaro.org>

Using old_creds as an indication that we are not overriding the
credentials, bypass call to inode_owner_or_capable.  This solves
a problem with all execv calls being blocked when using the caller's
credentials.
