Subject: [PATCH] setcap: fix errno display
The commit 056ffb0bd25d91ffbcb83c521fc4d3d9904ec4d4 broke the display of
the final error message because it would do more operations that would
clobber errno. Example:
(libcap-2.22) sudo setcap cap_ipc_lock=ep /proc/filesystems | head -1
Failed to set capabilities on file `/proc/filesystems' (Operation not supported)
(libcap-2.23) sudo setcap cap_ipc_lock=ep /proc/filesystems | head -1
Failed to set capabilities on file `/proc/filesystems' (Invalid argument)
Save the original errno value and use that for the final display instead.
