commit 24f6008564183aa120d07c03d9289519c2fe02af upstream.

The cgroup release_agent is called with call_usermodehelper. The function call_usermodehelper starts the release_agent with a full set fo capabilities. Therefore require capabilities when setting the release_agaent.

commit bd2db32e7c3e35bd4d9b8bbff689434a50893546 upstream.

It was reported that the mmc host structure could be accessed after it was freed in moxart_remove(), so fix this by saving the base register of the device and using it instead of the pointer dereference.
