Revert "capabitlies: ns_capable can use the cap helpers rather than lsm call"
This reverts commit d2a7009f0bb03fa22ad08dd25472efa0568126b9.
J. R. Okajima explains:
"After this commit, I am afraid access(2) on NFS may not work
correctly. The scenario based upon my guess.
- access(2) overrides the credentials.
- calls inode_permission() -- ... -- generic_permission() --
ns_capable().
- while the old ns_capable() calls security_capable(current_cred()),
the new ns_capable() calls has_ns_capability(current) --
security_capable(__task_cred(t)).
current_cred() returns current->cred which is effective (overridden)
credentials, but __task_cred(current) returns current->real_cred (the
NFSD's credential). And the overridden credentials by access(2) lost."
