The function daemon_become_new_user_linux was conditionally defined but
then used in code unconditionally.  If HAVE_LIBCAPNG is not defined, the
function would never be called, but it still must exist.

Adjust the #if guard around the function to be around the body of the
function instead of outside of its definition to ensure the function is
always defined, even if empty.

This issue was introduced in e91b927d8966bfcb9768225392324dde4fd7d7f6.

Applied, thanks!

Russell,

Thanks for the fix. I have libcap-ng installed on my system and forgot
to test compiling without it. Sorry.

Andy, no problem!  It was an easy fix.  That's the life of working
against master.  :-)

I'm going to look into updating the RPM spec file for the new
dependency, as well.

What do you plan to change there? I also plan to update the packaging scripts
so that 1) it will create 'ovs' user and group on the box, 2) OVS daemons
will run as the ovs user, using the facilities just committed.  If you
are talking
about libcap-ng dependency, I can add that as well in my changes.

I was just doing the basics for now, building against the lib.  I didn't
touch the systemd units yet.
