Reading of fscaps xattrs is now done via vfs_get_fscaps(), so there is no longer any need to do it from security_inode_getsecurity(). Remove cap_inode_getsecurity() and its associated helpers which are now unused. We don't allow reading capabilities xattrs this way anyomre, so remove the handler and associated helpers.
