[RFC PATCH 1/2] security, capabilities: Add CAP_SYS_MOUNT

[Nicolas Belouin]

With CAP_SYS_ADMIN being bloated and inapropriate for actions such
as mounting/unmounting filesystems, the creation of a new capability
is needed.
CAP_SYS_MOUNT is meant to give a process the ability to call for mount,
umount and umount2 syscalls.
