I'll wait for comments from Jens first:-)
I guess we'll have things changed in his branch, when I wake up
tomorrow. Otherwise I can also create patches and submit them.

But I currently don't have an environment where I can do runtime tests
with it.

As far as I can see it avoids a get_cred() in the IOSQE_PERSONALITY case
and the if (!req->work.creds) for both cases.

What do you mean exactly with one extra get_current_cred()?
Is that any worse than calling get_cred() and having an if check?

It also seems to avoid req->work.creds from being filled at all
for the non-blocking case.
