Subject: [GIT PULL 20/37] lightnvm: centralize permission check for lightnvm ioctl

From: Johannes Thumshirn <jthumshirn@...e.de>

Currently all functions for handling the lightnvm core ioctl commands
do a check for CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

Change this to fail early in nvm_ctl_ioctl(), so we don't have to
duplicate the permission checks all over.
