xfs: don't generate selinux audit messages for capability testing
There are a few places where we test the current process' capability set to decide if we're going to be more or less generous with resource acquisition for a system call. If the process doesn't have the capability, we can continue the call, albeit in a degraded mode. These are /not/ the actual security decisions, so it's not proper to use capable(), which (in certain selinux setups) causes audit messages to get logged. Switch them to has_capability_noaudit. Fixes: 7317a03df703f ("xfs: refactor inode ownership change transaction/inode/quota allocation idiom") Fixes: ea9a46e1c4925 ("xfs: only return detailed fsmap info if the caller has CAP_SYS_ADMIN") Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
