Why are you calling this per requests, shouldn't this be done in
io_register_personality()?

I'm also not sure if this really gains anything as io_register_personality()
only captures the value of get_current_cred(), so the process already has changed to
the credentials (at least once for the io_uring_register(IORING_REGISTER_PERSONALITY)
call).
