This fixes a shortcoming of the cap_setfcap patch I sent earlier,
pointed out by Stephen Smalley.
Seems to compile and boot on my little systems.
thanks,

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] file caps: update selinux xattr hooks
SELinux does not call out to it's secondary module for setxattr
or removexattr mediation, as the secondary module would
incorrectly prevent writing of selinux xattrs. This means
that when selinux and capability are both loaded, admins will
be able to write file capabilities with CAP_SYS_ADMIN as before,
not with CAP_SETFCAP.
Update the selinux hooks to hardcode logic for the special
consideration for file caps.
I changed the flow of the removexattr hook to reduce the amount
of indentation I was getting. It was probably written the way
it was for a reason, and if it was, I apologize and will
rewrite :) If it wasn't, hopefully this way is ok.
