Subject: selinux: drop the BUG() in cred_has_capability()
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ea64aa57d596c4cbe518ffd043c52ef64089708d;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

selinux: drop the BUG() in cred_has_capability()

With the compile time check located immediately above the
cred_has_capability() function ensuring that we will notice if the
capability set grows beyond 63 capabilities, we can safely remove
the BUG() call from the cred_has_capability().
