Subject: capabilities: reverse arguments to security_capable
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b7e724d303b684655e4ca3dabd5a6840ad19012d;p=linux-beck.git

capabilities: reverse arguments to security_capable

security_capable takes ns, cred, cap.  But the LSM capable() hook takes
cred, ns, cap.  The capability helper functions also take cred, ns, cap.
Rather than flip argument order just to flip it back, leave them alone.
Heck, this should be a little faster since argument will be in the right
place!
