Subject: bpf: Remove the capability check for cgroup skb eBPF program
Patch-mainline: v4.13-rc1
Git-commit: 80b7d81912d807f161d55e9c2c9cc81061666f83
References: bsc#1056787
Currently loading a cgroup skb eBPF program require a CAP_SYS_ADMIN
capability while attaching the program to a cgroup only requires the
user have CAP_NET_ADMIN privilege. We can escape the capability
check when load the program just like socket filter program to make
the capability requirement consistent.
Change since v1:
Change the code style in order to be compliant with checkpatch.pl
