Subject: [PATCH 03/15] keyctl: check capabilities against key's user_ns

From: "Serge E. Hallyn" <serge.hallyn@...onical.com>

ATM, task should only be able to get his own user_ns's keys
anyway, so nsown_capable should also work, but there is no
advantage to doing that, while using key's user_ns is clearer.

changelog: jun 6:
	compile fix: keyctl.c (key_user, not key has user_ns)
