If it were me, I'd modify the callers of ns_capable(..., CAP_SETUID) in 
some manner to let you distinguish rather than trying to test the 
current syscall within the capable hook.  Modify the set*id system calls 
to use a variant interface that passes flags or something; there is 
already precedent for the _noaudit case but it isn't general.  More 
generally, extending ns_capable() and friends to take a variety of 
additional inputs would be useful, e.g. to allow one to pass down the 
inode for CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE/READ_SEARCH checks so that one could 
authorize it for specific files rather than all or nothing. This is 
already partly done via capable_wrt_inode_uidgid() but the inode isn't 
propagated down to ns_capable() and thus cannot be passed down to the 
security hook currently.
