I looked at cred->ucount and it is only used for rlimit operations that were previously stored in cred->user. Making the fact cred->ucount can refer to a different user from cred->user a bug, affecting all uses of cred->ulimit not just RLIMIT_NPROC. Fix set_cred_ucounts to always use the real uid not the effective uid. Further simplify set_cred_ucounts by noticing that set_cred_ucounts somehow retained a draft version of the check to see if alloc_ucounts was needed that checks the new->user and new->user_ns against the current_real_cred(). Remove that draft version of the check. All that matters for setting the cred->ucounts are the user_ns and uid fields in the cred.
