[PATCH 06/12] audit: Simplify and correct audit_log_capset

From: Richard Guy Briggs
Date: Tue Aug 20 2013 - 17:33:40 EST


From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

- Always report the current process as capset now always only works on
the current process. This prevents reporting 0 or a random pid in
a random pid namespace.

- Don't bother to pass the pid as is available.
