ext[2,3,4], ufs, and ubifs all check for CAP_SYS_RESOURCE to determine
if they should allow reserved blocks to be used. A process not having
this capability is not failing some security decision and should not be
audited. Thus move to using has_capability_noaudit.

UBIFS part looks OK, as long as the whole idea of the patch is right, which
I have not checked, but assume it is.

The only question is are you sure exporting 'cap_capable()' is relevant
to this patch? You do not seem to call it directly.
