The speed limit is exactly that - the speed limit. It remains in place even when overtaking another vehicle. Chances are, if you're going five over the speed limit to overtake a vehicle, and a police officer observes it, they'll let it slide. Do 20 over, and they're not going to. However, there is no guarantee - the moment you go over the speed limit, you're subject to be cited for it, even in a passing situation.
