Daniel P. Berrange e6cbadd588 Remove capng_lock() call when spawning LXC container init process 
The capng_lock() call sets the SECURE_NO_SETUID_FIXUP and SECURE_NOROOT
bits on the process. This prevents the kernel granting capabilities to
processes with an effective UID of 0, or with setuid programs. This is
not actually what we want in the container init process. It should be
allowed to run setuid processes & keep capabilities when root. All that
is required is masking a handful of dangerous capabilities from the
bounding set.

* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Remove bogus capng_lock() call.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
