[ Upstream commit ed9b25d1970a4787ac6a39c2091e63b127ecbfc1 ]

Namespaced file capabilities were introduced in 8db6c34f1dbc .
When userspace reads an xattr for a namespaced capability, a
virtualized representation of it is returned if the caller is
in a user namespace owned by the capability's owning rootid.
The function which performs this virtualization was not hooked
up if CONFIG_SECURITY=n. Therefore in that case the original
xattr was shown instead of the virtualized one.

To test this using libcap-bin (*1),

$ v=$(mktemp)
$ unshare -Ur setcap cap_sys_admin-eip $v
$ unshare -Ur setcap -v cap_sys_admin-eip $v
/tmp/tmp.lSiIFRvt8Y: OK

"setcap -v" verifies the values instead of setting them, and
will check whether the rootid value is set. Therefore, with
this bug un-fixed, and with CONFIG_SECURITY=n, setcap -v will
fail:

$ v=$(mktemp)
$ unshare -Ur setcap cap_sys_admin=eip $v
$ unshare -Ur setcap -v cap_sys_admin=eip $v
nsowner[got=1000, want=0],/tmp/tmp.HHDiOOl9fY differs in []

Fix this bug by calling cap_inode_getsecurity() in
security_inode_getsecurity() instead of returning
-EOPNOTSUPP, when CONFIG_SECURITY=n.

*1 - note, if libcap is too old for getcap to have the '-n'
option, then use verify-caps instead.
