No, I didn't. task_ns_capable does not appear anywhere in my tree.  There
is a commit in the selinux tree that removes task_ns_capable (replacing
it with the equivalent ns_capable call).

In my tree and in the current version of Linus' tree, kernel/sched/core.c
include linux/cpapbility.h that declares {,task_}ns_capable.  So I am at
a loss to know what happened in your tree.

That is the commit above.  But git's merges seem to work for me here and
does the replacement in the file in its new position.

Certainly if the above commit is not meant for this merge window, it
should not be in linux-next.

Well some of this will be caused by Linus' doing different merge
resolutions than I did (in particular the cputime ones) and some may be
because Linus' has not take all of the tip trees yet (which I get in a
single hit).

It will be interesting to see what I get on Monday.
