Subject: [PATCH 3.14 008/100] fs: Add a missing permission check to do_umount

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...capital.net>

commit a1480dcc3c706e309a88884723446f2e84fedd5b upstream.

Accessing do_remount_sb should require global CAP_SYS_ADMIN, but
only one of the two call sites was appropriately protected.

Fixes CVE-2014-7975.
