which is caused by slab fault injection triggering a failure in
prepare_creds(). We don't actually need to create a copy of the creds
as we're not modifying it, we just need a reference on the current task
creds. This avoids the failure case as well, and propagates the const
throughout the stack.

Fixes: 181e448d ("io_uring: async workers should inherit the user creds")
