Subject: [PATCH] selinux: check CAP_SETFCAP for a particular inode & mapped user

This allows setting "security.capability" xattr by a user that has
CAP_SETFCAP in an userns with SELinux. Namespaced capabilities are
supported, as of commit 8db6c34f1dbc ("Introduce v3 namespaced file
capabilities").

A casual warning: Please not assume I know what I'm really doing. I can now 
install iputils and /bin/ping in a LXC container, which is great, but I 
typically wouldn't be allowed anywhere near anything security related.

Thank you!
