capabilities: do not drop CAP_SETPCAP from the initial task
In olden' days of yore CAP_SETPCAP had special meaning for the init task. We actually have code to make sure that CAP_SETPCAP wasn't in pE of things using the init_cred. But CAP_SETPCAP isn't so special any more and we don't have a reason to special case dropping it for init or kthreads.... Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Acked-by: Andrew G. Morgan <morgan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
