Re: [RFC PATCH v3] security,capability: pass object information to security_capable

In SELinux this new information is leveraged here to perform an
additional inode based check for capabilities relevant to inodes. Since
the inode provided to capable_wrt_inode_uidgid() is a const argument,
this also required propagating const down to dump_common_audit_data() and
dropping the use of d_find_alias() to find an alias for the inode. This
was sketchy to begin with and should be obsoleted by a separate change
that will allow LSMs to trigger audit collection for all file-related
information.
Will the audit logs look the same once the 2nd patch is applied? We need
to be careful about breaking existing userland.
