Remove unhelpful drop_caps() call in pasta_start_ns()
drop_caps() has a number of bugs which mean it doesn't do what you'd
expect. However, even if we fixed those, the call in pasta_start_ns()
doesn't do anything useful:
* In the common case, we're UID 0 at this point. In this case drop_caps()
doesn't accomplish anything, because even with capabilities dropped, we
are still privileged.
* When attaching to an existing namespace with --userns or --netns-only
we might not be UID 0. In this case it's too early to drop all
capabilities: we need at least CAP_NET_ADMIN to configure the
tap device in the namespace.
Remove this call - we will still drop capabilities a little later in
sandbox().
