Fix the following warning when defining a cleanup guard for a "const"
pointer type:

/include/linux/cleanup.h:211:18: warning: return discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
211 | return _T->lock; \
| ~~^~~~~~
/include/linux/cleanup.h:233:1: note: in expansion of macro ‘__DEFINE_UNLOCK_GUARD’
233 | __DEFINE_UNLOCK_GUARD(_name, _type, _unlock, __VA_ARGS__) \
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/include/linux/cred.h:193:1: note: in expansion of macro ‘DEFINE_LOCK_GUARD_1’
193 | DEFINE_LOCK_GUARD_1(cred, const struct cred, _T->lock = override_creds_light(_T->lock),
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
