[PATCH 04/11] exec: Move uid/gid handling from creds_from_file into bprm_fill_uid

The logic in cap_bprm_creds_from_file is difficult to follow in part
because it handles both uids/gids and capabilities.  That difficulty
in following the code has resulted in several small bugs.  Move the
handling of uids/gids into bprm_fill_uid to make the code clearer.

A small bug is fixed where the ambient capabilities were unnecessarily
cleared when the presence of a ptracer or a shared fs_struct resulted
in the setuid or setgid not being honored.  This bug was not possible
to leave in place with the movement of the uids and gids handling
out of cap_bprm_repopultate_creds.

The rest of the bugs I have tried to make more apparent but left
in tact when moving the code into bprm_fill_uid.

Ref: ee67ae7ef6ff ("commoncap: Move cap_elevated calculation into bprm_set_creds")
Fixes: 58319057b784 ("capabilities: ambient capabilities")
