libcap: add patch to fix build issue with old kernel headers
Old kernels (before 2.6.36) were defining XATTR_NAME_CAPS in
<linux/capability.h>, but using XATTR_SECURITY_PREFIX and
XATTR_CAPS_SUFFIX which were defined in the kernel-only part of
<linux/xattr.h>.
In kernel 2.6.36 (commit af4f136056c984b0aa67feed7d3170b958370b2f),
the XATTR_NAME_CAPS definition was moved to the kernel-only part of
<linux/xattr.h>. It's only in kernel 3.0 (commit
1dbe39424a43e56a6c9aed12661192af51dcdb9f) that <linux/xattr.h> was
fixed to expose XATTR_NAME_CAPS and the related definitions to
userspace.
This is the reason why the target variant of libcap has a dependency
on headers >= 3.0 for the moment.
However, this doesn't solve the problem for the host variant of
libcap, which doesn't build properly on old systems.
To solve this, we simply add a patch that defines the missing
definitions. Their values haven't changed over time since they are
part of the kernel to userspace ABI.
