While experimenting with the security_prepare_creds() LSM hook, we noticed that our EPERM error code was not propagated up the callstack. Instead ENOMEM is always returned. As a result, some tools may send a confusing error message to the user: $ unshare -rU unshare: unshare failed: Cannot allocate memory A user would think that the system didn't have enough memory, when instead the action was denied. This problem occurs because prepare_creds() and prepare_kernel_cred() return NULL when security_prepare_creds() returns an error code. Later, functions calling prepare_creds() and prepare_kernel_cred() return ENOMEM because they assume that a NULL meant there was no memory allocated. Fix this by propagating an error code from security_prepare_creds() up the callstack.
