I think this is the wrong place to check this. This is called in
prepare_binprm(), which is very early in the execve() process. By my
reading this will change the forked process's display first before the
exec happens (which may potentially fail) -- this needs to be changing
the final state once exec is under way (past the "point of no return" in
flush_old_exec()).

Also, the consolidation of privilege information happens into
bprm->secureexec in setup_new_exec(), so I think you want to test
secureexec not just cap_elevated.

So the test/clear should likely happen in finalize_exec() since it's a
runtime state, not a memory layout-changing state (which would need to
happen earlier).
