From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 24f6008564183aa120d07c03d9289519c2fe02af upstream.
The cgroup release_agent is called with call_usermodehelper. The function
call_usermodehelper starts the release_agent with a full set fo capabilities.
Therefore require capabilities when setting the release_agaent.
