Subject: [PATCH] drivers/net/tun.c: test for CAP_NET_ADMIN before attaching

The following change will test for CAP_NET_ADMIN before attaching, even
if both tun->owner and tun->group equal -1.  The latter scenario can be
reproduced with ip(8) from iproute2, when using `ip tuntap' without the
`user' and `group' option.
