umh: simplify the capability pointer logic
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.
