[PATCH v1 1/2] selftests/landlock: Fix capability for net_test

[Mickaël Salaün]

CAP_NET_ADMIN allows to configure network interfaces, not CAP_SYS_ADMIN
which only allows to call unshare(2).  Without this change, running
network tests as a non-root user but with all capabilities would fail at
the setup_loopback() step with "RTNETLINK answers: Operation not
permitted".

The issue is only visible when running tests with non-root users (i.e.
only relying on ambient capabilities).  Indeed, when configuring the
network interface, the "ip" command is called, which may lead to the
special handling of capabilities for the root user by execve(2).  If
root is the caller, then the inherited, permitted and effective
capabilities are all reset, which then includes CAP_NET_ADMIN.  However,
if a non-root user is the caller, then ambient capabilities are masked
by the inherited ones, which were explicitly dropped.

To make execution deterministic whatever users are running the tests,
set the noroot secure bit for each test, and set the inheritable and
ambient capabilities to CAP_NET_ADMIN, the only capability that may be
required after an execve(2).

Factor out _effective_cap() into _change_cap(), and use it to manage
ambient capabilities with the new set_ambient_cap() and
clear_ambient_cap() helpers.

This makes it possible to run all Landlock tests (including net_test)
with uml-run.sh from https://github.com/landlock-lsm/landlock-test-tools
