Without 'set -e', shell scripts continue running even after any error occurs. The missed 'set -e' is a typical bug in shell scripting. For example, when a disk space shortage occurs while this script is running, it actually ends up with generating a truncated capflags.c. Yet, mkcapflags.sh continues running and exits with 0. So, the build system assumes it has succeeded. It will not be re-generated in the next invocation of Make since its timestamp is newer than that of any of the source files. Add 'set -e' so that any error in this script is caught and propagated to the build system. Since 9c2af1c7377a ("kbuild: add .DELETE_ON_ERROR special target"), Make automatically deletes the target on any failure. So, the broken capflags.c will be deleted automatically.
