Subject: [PATCH] tar-in: Add workaround because tar doesn't restore
capabilities (RHBZ#1384241).
Current GNU tar does not restore all extended attributes. In
particular only user.* capabilities are restored (although all
are saved in the tarball).
To restore capabilities, SELinux security attributes, and other things
we need to use --xattrs-include=*
For further information on the tar bug, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771927
(cherry picked from commit 6d0ab14b56743679638ead0829ff3131749ac59b)
