cap_inode_getsecurity() implements a handful of policies for capability
xattrs read by userspace:
- It returns EINVAL if the on-disk capability is in v1 format.
- It masks off all bits in magic_etc except for the version and
VFS_CAP_FLAGS_EFFECTIVE.
- v3 capabilities are converted to v2 format if the rootid returned to
userspace would be 0 or if the rootid corresponds to root in an
ancestor user namespace.
- It returns EOVERFLOW for a v3 capability whose rootid does not map to
a valid id in current_user_ns() or to root in an ancestor namespace.
These policies must be maintained when converting vfs_caps to an xattr
for userspace. Provide a vfs_caps_to_user_xattr() helper which will
enforce these policies.
