Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 2/3] net: sysctl: No need to check CAP_SYS_ADMIN for bpf_jit_*

The mode of the following procnames are defined as 0644, 0600, 0600
and 0600 respectively in net_core_table[], normal user can not write
them, so no need to check CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the related proc_handler
function, just remove the checks.
