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.

Once again, you should get Serge's ACK on the commoncap.c stuff, but
no objections from a LSM perspective.
