Subject[PATCH 1/2 -mm] capabilities: clean up file capability reading
This patch is a simple cleanup which should probably be
applied to -mm (assuming I haven't messed it up). The next
patch is an experimental patch which will require userspace
support and is just RFC at this point.

From 9fc0782de6e1287aaeebe8ad653b008f09b22c11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] capabilities: clean up file capability reading

Simplify the vfs_cap_data structure.

Also fix get_file_caps which was declaring
__le32 v1caps[XATTR_CAPS_SZ] on the stack, but
XATTR_CAPS_SZ is already * sizeof(__le32).
