[PATCH v3 07/15] commoncap: Move cap_elevated calculation into bprm_set_creds

[Kees Cook]

Instead of a separate function, open-code the cap_elevated test, which
lets us entirely remove bprm->cap_effective (to use the local "effective"
variable instead), and more accurately examine euid/egid changes via the
existing local "is_setid".
