kmsg: honor dmesg_restrict sysctl on /dev/kmsg
Originally, the addition of dmesg_restrict covered both the syslog
method of accessing dmesg, as well as /dev/kmsg itself. This was done
indirectly by security_syslog calling cap_syslog before doing any LSM
checks.
However, commit
12b3052c3ee ("capabilities/syslog: open code cap_syslog
logic to fix build failure") moved the code around and pushed the checks
into the caller itself. That seems to have inadvertently dropped the
checks for dmesg_restrict on /dev/kmsg. Most people haven't noticed
because util-linux dmesg(1) defaults to using the syslog method for access
in older versions. With util-linux 2.22 and a kernel newer than 3.5,
dmesg(1) defaults to reading directly from /dev/kmsg.
Fix this by making an explicit check in the devkmsg_open function.
