Subject: [PATCH] virSetUIDGIDWithCaps: Set bounding capabilities only with
CAP_SETPCAP
In one of my previous patches I've tried to postpone dropping
CAP_SETPCAP until the very end because it's needed for
capng_apply(). What I did not realize back then was that we might
not have the capability to begin with. Because of unknown reasons
capng_apply() pollutes logs only for CAPNG_SELECT_BOUNDS and not
for CAPNG_SELECT_CAPS.
Reproducer is really simple: run libvirtd as a regular user.
During its initialization, libvirtd will spawn some binaries
(dnsmasq, qemu-*, etc.) and while doing so it will try to drop
capabilities.
Anyway, let's call capng_apply(CAPNG_SELECT_BOUNDS) only if we
have the CAP_SETPCAP (which is tracked in need_setpcap variable).
