proc: don't show nonexistent capabilities
Without this patch it is really hard to interpret a bounding set, if CAP_LAST_CAP is unknown for a current kernel. Non-existant capabilities can not be deleted from a bounding set with help of prctl. E.g.: Here are two examples without/with this patch. CapBnd: ffffffe0fdecffff CapBnd: 00000000fdecffff I suggest to hide non-existent capabilities. Here is two reasons. * It's logically and easier for using. * It helps to checkpoint-restore capabilities of tasks, because tasks can be restored on another kernel, where CAP_LAST_CAP is bigger.
