I guess the only residual concern I have is that CAP_MAC_ADMIN means
something different to SELinux (ability to get/set file security
contexts unknown to the currently loaded policy), so leaving the
CAP_MAC_ADMIN check here (versus calling a new security hook here and
checking CAP_MAC_ADMIN in the implementation of that hook for the
modules that want that) conflates two very different things. Prior to
this patch, there are no users of CAP_MAC_ADMIN outside of individual
security modules; it is only checked in module-specific logic within
apparmor, safesetid, selinux, and smack, so the meaning was module-specific.
