Series libcap: add user namespace fscaps support | expand

Commit Message

Newer kernels support setting file capabilities in user namespaces. In
addition to directly setting file capabilites in a user namespaces they
can also be set in lieu of another user namespace by passing a uid down
to the kernel which will convert it to an appropriate kuid_t
representation.
This commit adds a new rootid argument to the internal struct
_cap_struct so that we can store the rootid when the kernel supports
VFS_CAP_REVISION_3 and returns a struct vfs_ns_cap_data.
