user namespaces: require cap_set{ug}id for CLONE_NEWUSER
While ideally CLONE_NEWUSER will eventually require no privilege, the required permission checks are currently not there. As a result, CLONE_NEWUSER has the same effect as a setuid(0)+setgroups(1,"0"). While we already require CAP_SYS_ADMIN, requiring CAP_SETUID and CAP_SETGID seems appropriate. Signed-off-by: Serge E.
