    [SECURITY] fix namespaced fscaps when !CONFIG_SECURITY
    
    Namespaced file capabilities were introduced in 8db6c34f1dbc .
    When userspace reads an xattr for a namespaced capability, a
    virtualized representation of it is returned if the caller is
    in a user namespace owned by the capability's owning rootid.
    The function which performs this virtualization was not hooked
    up if CONFIG_SECURITY=n.  Therefore in that case the original
    xattr was shown instead of the virtualized one.
    
    To test this using libcap-bin (*1),
    
    $ v=$(mktemp)
    $ unshare -Ur setcap cap_sys_admin-eip $v
    $ unshare -Ur setcap -v cap_sys_admin-eip $v
    /tmp/tmp.lSiIFRvt8Y: OK
    
    "setcap -v" verifies the values instead of setting them, and
    will check whether the rootid value is set.  Therefore, with
    this bug un-fixed, and with CONFIG_SECURITY=n, setcap -v will
    fail:
    
    $ v=$(mktemp)
    $ unshare -Ur setcap cap_sys_admin=eip $v
    $ unshare -Ur setcap -v cap_sys_admin=eip $v
    nsowner[got=1000, want=0],/tmp/tmp.HHDiOOl9fY differs in []
    
    Fix this bug by calling cap_inode_getsecurity() in
    security_inode_getsecurity() instead of returning
    -EOPNOTSUPP, when CONFIG_SECURITY=n.
    
    *1 - note, if libcap is too old for getcap to have the '-n'
    option, then use verify-caps instead.
