Subject[29/70] security: add cred argument to security_capable()
2.6.37-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>

commit 6037b715d6fab139742c3df8851db4c823081561 upstream.

Expand security_capable() to include cred, so that it can be usable in a
wider range of call sites.
