This is a clean application of an upstream patch. The same fix has
already come from upstream stable for Oneiric and Precise.

Subject: [PATCH] fcaps: clear the same personality flags as suid when fcaps
 are used

CVE-2012-2123

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987571

If a process increases permissions using fcaps all of the dangerous
personality flags which are cleared for suid apps should also be cleared.
Thus programs given priviledge with fcaps will continue to have address
space
randomization enabled even if the parent tried to disable it to make it
easier to attack.

Don't forget this also needed a follow-up patch to #include
<linux/personality.h>.  (upstream commit
