pci: use security_capable() when checking capablities during config space read
This reintroduces commit 47970b1b which was subsequently reverted
as f00eaeea. The original change was broken and caused X startup
failures and generally made privileged processes incapable of reading
device dependent config space. The normal capable() interface returns
true on success, but the LSM interface returns 0 on success. This thinko
is now fixed in this patch, and has been confirmed to work properly.
So, once again...Eric Paris noted that commit de139a3 ("pci: check caps
from sysfs file open to read device dependent config space") caused the
capability check to bypass security modules and potentially auditing.
Rectify this by calling security_capable() when checking the open file's
capabilities for config space reads.
