ovl: don't override credentials for ovl_check_whiteouts()

The function is only called when rdd->dentry is non-NULL:

if (!err && rdd->first_maybe_whiteout && rdd->dentry)
    err = ovl_check_whiteouts(realpath, rdd);

| Caller                        | Sets rdd->dentry? | Can call ovl_check_whiteouts()? |

All valid callchains already override credentials so drop the override.
