Subject: [PATCH v3] kernel: Conditionally support non-root users, groups and
 capabilities

There are a lot of embedded systems that run most or all of their functionality
in init, running as root:root. For these systems, supporting multiple users is
not necessary.

This patch adds a new symbol, CONFIG_MULTIUSER, that makes support for non-root
users, non-root groups, and capabilities optional. It is enabled under
CONFIG_EXPERT menu.

When this symbol is not defined, UID and GID are zero in any possible case
and processes always have all capabilities.

The following syscalls are compiled out: setuid, setregid, setgid,
setreuid, setresuid, getresuid, setresgid, getresgid, setgroups, getgroups,
setfsuid, setfsgid, capget, capset.

Also, groups.c is compiled out completely.

This change saves about 25 KB on a defconfig build.

The kernel was booted in Qemu. All the common functionalities work. Adding
users/groups is not possible, failing with -ENOSYS.

Bloat-o-meter output:
add/remove: 7/87 grow/shrink: 19/397 up/down: 1675/-26325 (-24650)

---
Changes since v2:
        - rename symbol;
        - make SECURITY dependent on MULTIUSER
