There also appears to need to be a check that we don't gain any
capabilities.

We also need a check so that you don't gain any capabilities, and
possibly a few other things.

So I suspect we want a check something like:

if ((new_cred->securebits != current_cred->securebits)  ||
    (new_cred->cap_inheritable != current_cred->cap_inheritable) ||
    (new_cred->cap_permitted != current_cred->cap_permitted) ||
    (new_cred->cap_effective != current_cred->cap_effective) ||
    (new_cred->cap_bset != current_cred->cap_bset) ||
    (new_cred->jit_keyring != current_cred->jit_keyring) ||
    (new_cred->session_keyring != current_cred->session_keyring) ||
    (new_cred->process_keyring != current_cred->process_keyring) ||
    (new_cred->thread_keyring != current_cred->thread_keyring) ||
    (new_cred->request_keyring != current_cred->request_keyring) ||
    (new_cred->security != current_cred->security) ||
    (new_cred->user_ns != current_cred->user_ns)) {
	return -EPERM;
}
