staging: lustre: simplify capability dropping.
Lustre has a 'squash credentials' concept similar to the "anon_uid" for nfsd. When accessing a file with squashed credentials, we need to also drop capabilities. Linux has cap_drop_fs_set() and cap_drop_nfsd_set(). Rather than taking a completely different approach, this patch changes lustre to use this same cap_drop_*_set() approach. With this change we also drop CAP_MKNOD and CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE which are probably appropriate, and don't drop CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_BOOT which should be irrelevant for file permission checking Calling both cap_drop_*_set() seems a bit clumsy, but gets the job done.
