commoncap: don't alloc the credential unless needed in cap_task_prctl
In function cap_task_prctl(), we would allocate a credential unconditionally and then check if we support the requested function. If not we would release this credential with abort_creds() by using RCU method. But on some archs such as powerpc, the sys_prctl is heavily used to get/set the floating point exception mode. So the unnecessary allocating/releasing of credential not only introduce runtime overhead but also do cause OOM due to the RCU implementation. This patch removes abort_creds() from cap_task_prctl() by calling prepare_creds() only when we need to modify it.
