Jike Song d1b333d12c vfio iommu type1: fix the testing of capability for remote task
Before the mdev enhancement type1 iommu used capable() to test the
capability of current task; in the course of mdev development a
new requirement, testing for another task other than current, was
raised.  ns_capable() was used for this purpose, however it still
tests current, the only difference is, in a specified namespace.

Fix it by using has_capability() instead, which tests the cap for
specified task in init_user_ns, the same namespace as capable().

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
