Fix filesystem capability support
In linux-2.6.24-rc1, security/commoncap.c:cap_inh_is_capped() was
introduced. It has the exact reverse of its intended behavior. This
led to an unintended privilege esculation involving a process'
inheritable capability set.
To be exposed to this bug, you need to have Filesystem Capabilities
enabled and in use. That is:
- CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES must be defined for the buggy code
to be compiled in.
- You also need to have files on your system marked with fI bits raised.
