The desired behavior was to allow a reader with CAP_SYS_ADMIN to open
the syslog via /proc/kmsg and continue reading it even after dropping
capabilities, which is why it was placed where it was.  I see no problem
with moving it back out to do_syslog, but ideally the same behavior
should be replicated.
