capabilities: do not drop CAP_SETPCAP from the initial task
In olden' days of yore CAP_SETPCAP had special meaning for the init task.
We actually have code to make sure that CAP_SETPCAP wasn't in pE of things
using the init_cred. But CAP_SETPCAP isn't so special any more and we
don't have a reason to special case dropping it for init or kthreads....

I really appreciate checking, as changes like this *should* be scary :)
