commit f8fa5d76925991976b3e7076f9d1052515ec1fca upstream. There are multiple ways to grab references to credentials, and the only protection we have against overflowing it is the memory required to do so. With memory sizes only moving in one direction, let's bump the reference count to 64-bit and move it outside the realm of feasibly overflowing.

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 Restructured Text 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.
