Subject: [PATCH] block: move CAP_SYS_ADMIN check in blkdev_roset()
Git-commit: bb749b31c25e9b11f8f974baac8d507298ffbb70
Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc1
References: bsc#1104967,FATE#325924

Check for CAP_SYS_ADMIN before calling into the driver, similar to
blkdev_flushbuf().  This is safer and can spare a check in the driver.

(Currently BLKROSET is overridden by md and rbd, rbd is missing the
check.  md has the check, but it covers a lot more than BLKROSET.)
