The usermodehelper code uses two fake pointers for the two capability cases: CAP_BSET for reading and writing 'usermodehelper_bset', and CAP_PI to read and write 'usermodehelper_inheritable'. This seems to be a completely unnecessary indirection, since we could instead just use the pointers themselves, and never have to do any "if this then that" kind of logic. So just get rid of the fake pointer values, and use the real pointer values instead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
