These helpers will make it less error prone to use
override_creds_light()/revert_creds_light(). They make sure that they
are paired.

As they use the _light() version of the credentials override/revert
operations, they should only be used when there are guarantees that
the lifetime of the credentials in question is not modified during the
critical section.
