[PATCH v2 24/25] commoncap: use vfs fscaps interfaces

From: Seth Forshee (DigitalOcean)
Date: Wed Feb 21 2024 - 16:33:30 EST


Use the vfs interfaces for fetching file capabilities for killpriv
checks and from get_vfs_caps_from_disk(). While there, update the
kerneldoc for get_vfs_caps_from_disk() to explain how it is different
from vfs_get_fscaps_nosec().
