Re: [PATCH 1/1] security: introduce fs caps

[Serge E. Hallyn]

Sorry, I should have noticed and fixed this much sooner.  This
patch is against the latest full fscaps patch which I'm replying
to.

From: Serge E. Hallyn <serue@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2006 00:01:49 -0600
Subject: security: file caps: fix unused variable warnings

Address warnings of unused variables at cap_bprm_set_security
when file capabilities are disabled, and simultaneously clean
up the code a little, by pulling the new code into a helper
function.

Rename vfs_cap_data_struct to remove redundant '_struct'.
