Commit e338d263a76a ("Add 64-bit capability support to the kernel")
introduces in the kernel _LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION_1 and
_LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION_2 and its corresponded magic numbers "1"
(_LINUX_CAPABILITY_U32S_1) and "2" (_LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION_2).
Capabilities sets, since this commit, are composed as an arrays of
__user_cap_data_struct with length defined in version's magic number
(e.g. struct __user_cap_data_struct kdata[_LINUX_CAPABILITY_U32S_1]).
These magic numbers also help the kernel to figure out how many data
(in __user_cap_data_struct "units") it needs to copy_from/to_user in
capset/capget syscalls.
In order to use _LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION_3 in the next commit (it has the
same functionality as version 2), let's follow the kernel code and let's
allocate memory to store 32-capabilities as an array of
__user_cap_data_struct with the length of 1 (_LINUX_CAPABILITY_U32S_1).
