Subject: Re: [PATCH v8 08/19] ima: Use mac_admin_ns_capable() to check
 corresponding capability

Hi Stefan, Denis,

mac_admin_ns_capable() is being introduced in this patch.  Either
rename the "Subject" line as "ima: replace capable() call with
ns_capable()" or "ima: define mac_admin_ns_capable() as a wrapper for
ns_capable()".
