[PATCH] 2.5.40 capget fix

[Chris Wright]

Linus,

Daniel Jacobowitz noticed that sys_capget is not behaving properly when
called with pid of 0.  It is supposed to return current capabilities,
not those of swapper.  Also cleaned up some duplicate code from a merge
error.  Patch is tested, please apply.

thanks,
-chris
