Before the mdev enhancement type1 iommu used capable() to test the
capability of current task; in the course of mdev development a
new requirement, testing for another task other than current, was
raised.  ns_capable() was used for this purpose, however it still
tests current, the only difference is, in a specified namespace.

Fix it by using has_capability() instead, which tests the cap for
specified task in init_user_ns, the same namespace as capable().

Hi Jike,

Alex's patch already changes this to capable(), you need to resolve.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/12/20/490

You need to do only below change, which looks fine to me.

Thanks for the point, will change it in v2.  However, that will probably be
after patch 1/2 accepted, otherwise we get undefined symbols.
