[PATCH] kernel/sys.c: fix and improve control flow in __sys_setres[ug]id()

[Ondrej Mosnacek]

1. First determine if CAP_SET[UG]ID is required and only then call
   ns_capable_setid(), to avoid bogus LSM (SELinux) denials.
2. Do the capability check before prepare_creds() as an optimization.
3. Check for a no-op early as an optimization.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
