Subject: [PATCH 05/14] userns: clamp down users of cap_raised

From: Serge E. Hallyn <serge.hallyn@...onical.com>

A few modules are using cap_raised(current_cap(), cap) to authorize
actions, but the privilege should be applicable against the initial
user namespace.  Refuse privilege if the caller is not in init_user_ns.
