userns: Add a more complete capability subset test to commit_creds
When unsharing a user namespace we reduce our credentials to just what can be done in that user namespace. This is a subset of the credentials we previously had. Teach commit_creds to recognize this is a subset of the credentials we have had before and don't clear the dumpability flag. This allows an unprivileged program to do: unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER); fd = open("/proc/self/uid_map", O_RDWR); Where previously opening the uid_map writable would fail because the the task had been made non-dumpable.
