[PATCH 1/2] file capabilities: don't do file caps if MNT_NOSUID

[Serge E. Hallyn]

From: Serge E. Hallyn <serue@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH 1/2] file capabilities: don't do file caps if MNT_NOSUID

A file system mounted NOSUID is likely a removable filesystem.
Allowing file capabilities from such an fs is an easy attack
vector, so don't honor file capabilities for a NOSUID
filesystem.
