[patch 06/16] file caps: always start with clear bprm->caps_*

[Greg KH]

2.6.25-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Serge Hallyn <serue@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3318a386e4ca68c76e0294363d29bdc46fcad670 upstream

While Linux doesn't honor setuid on scripts.  However, it mistakenly
behaves differently for file capabilities.

This patch fixes that behavior by making sure that get_file_caps()
begins with empty bprm->caps_*.  That way when a script is loaded,
its bprm->caps_* may be filled when binfmt_misc calls prepare_binprm(),
but they will be cleared again when binfmt_elf calls prepare_binprm()
next to read the interpreter's file capabilities.
