Add a new cleanup class for override creds. We can make use of this in a bunch of places going forward. Based on this scoped_with_kernel_creds() that can be used to temporarily assume kernel credentials for specific tasks such as firmware loading, or coredump socket connections. At no point will the caller interact with the kernel credentials directly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
