Subject: [PATCH v9 12/23] ima: Define mac_admin_ns_capable() as a wrapper for ns_capable()

From: Stefan Berger <stefanb@...ux.ibm.com>

Define mac_admin_ns_capable() as a wrapper for the combined ns_capable()
checks on CAP_MAC_ADMIN and CAP_SYS_ADMIN in a user namespace. Return
true on the check if either capability or both are available.

Use mac_admin_ns_capable() in place of capable(SYS_ADMIN). This will allow
an IMA namespace to read the policy with only CAP_MAC_ADMIN, which has
less privileges than CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
