Subject: [PATCH 1/1] file capabilities: get_file_caps cleanups

Two cleanups relating to set_file caps.

Rename set_file_caps to get_file_caps, since we are getting
the file capabilities, and setting the bprm caps to them.

Move the clearing of bprm caps into get_file_caps, and do it
only when we don't copy them from the capability xattr.
