[PATCH 2/3] capabilities: add a secure bit to allow changing a task exe link

[Andrey Vagin]

When we restore a task we need to restore its exe link from userspace to
the values the task had at checkpoint time.

Currently this operations required the global CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, which is
always absent in a non-root user namespace.

So this patch introduces a new security bit which:
* can be set only if a task has the global CAP_SYS_RESOURCE
* inherited  by  child  processes
* is saved when a task moves in another userns
* allows to change a task exe link even if a task doesn't have CAP_SYS_RESOURCE
