I'm not sure you got my point.
I was saying cred != real_cred check is not quite right, because the
cred can
be overridden by a same pointer as my print messages showing.
"cred != real_cred" means override_creds() is called, but "cred ==
real_cred"
doesn't mean override_creds() is not called.
When we use "cred != real_cred" check, we may lost the situation that cred
is overridden by a same pointer. In this case, we will do
override_creds() =>
commit_creds() => revert_creds(), this make cred != real_cred, when a new
commit_creds() is called, it also will trigger a BUG_ON().
