[PATCH 3/3] fscaps: define task_kill and other new capchecks

[Serge E . Hallyn]

task_setrlimit, task_prctl, and task_movememory are not a problem
with fscaps.  This patch defines task_setscheduler, task_setioprio,
cap_task_kill, and task_setnice to make sure a user cannot affect a
process in which they called a program with some fscaps.

One remaining question is the note under task_setscheduler: are we
ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being sufficient to confine a process to a
cpuset?

It is a semantic change, as without fsccaps, attach_task doesn't
allow CAP_SYS_NICE to override the uid equivalence check.  But since
it uses security_task_setscheduler, which elsewhere is used where
CAP_SYS_NICE can be used to override the uid equivalence check,
fixing it might be tough.

     task_setscheduler
         need to check for !capable(CAP_SYS_NICE)  && current->euid==p->euid
             && !cap_subset(current->caps, p->caps) where p->caps are not
             subset of current->caps
         note: this also controls cpuset:attach_task.  Are we ok with
             CAP_SYS_NICE being used to confine to a cpuset?
     task_setioprio
         Same check as task_setscheduler
     task_setnice
         sys_setpriority uses this (through set_one_prio) for another
         process.  Need same checks as setrlimit

 no need:
     task_setrlimit
         affect only calling task
     task_prctl (set_dumpable, set_keepcaps)
         affect only calling task
     task_movememory
         CAP_SYS_NICE is already checked
