Without this patch it is really hard to interpret a bounding set,
if CAP_LAST_CAP is unknown for a current kernel.
Non-existant capabilities can not be deleted from a bounding set
with help of prctl.
E.g.: Here are two examples without/with this patch.
CapBnd: ffffffe0fdecffff
CapBnd: 00000000fdecffff
I suggest to hide non-existent capabilities. Here is two reasons.
* It's logically and easier for using.
* It helps to checkpoint-restore capabilities of tasks, because tasks
can be restored on another kernel, where CAP_LAST_CAP is bigger.
v2: Non-existent capabilities can not be removed from creds, because
in this case user cannot set all=eip. This patch cleans up non-existent
capabilities from content of /proc/pid/status
