Linus Torvalds 951880e634 Revert "capabitlies: ns_capable can use the cap helpers rather than lsm call"
This reverts commit d2a7009f0b.

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."
