Silence a warning.
Once upon a time you could call fchown() and let it fail. Then gcc decided not using its return code was inconcievable, but you could typecast it to (void) to shut it up. Then gcc noticed people doing that and clutched its pearls and took it away, so I added an if() statement that does nothing with the result because we _expect_ this to fail when we're not root. Then clang started complaining about an if (); statement with the semicolon on the same line, but decided it's ok if the ; is on the next line (I.E. significant whitespace in C), so I'm adding an "assignemnt to self" that gets optimized away so it does a more _explicit_ nothing (the same way you suppress gcc's broken "this isn't used uninitialized" warnings). If the compilers weren't going to so much trouble to force the issue I might add code to only call fchown when we're UID 0, but I refuse to be coerced into it. (And if getpid() is still a system call instead of a vdso member then it doesn't actually _save_ us anything, the dentry should be hot and the permission check was just "if (!uid)" before selinux entered into it and we're operating on an fd so the security's the same.)
