Silence the existing API for capability version compatibility check.
When libcap, or other libraries attempt to confirm/determine the supported capability version magic, they generally supply a NULL dataptr to capget(). In this case, while returning the supported/preferred magic (via a modified header content), the return code of this system call may be 0, -EINVAL, or -EFAULT. No libcap code depends on the previous -EINVAL etc. return code, and all of the above three return codes can accompany a valid (successful) attempt to determine the requested magic value. This patch cleans up the system call to return 0, if the call is successfully being used to determine the supported/preferred capability magic value. Signed-off-by: Andrew G.
