[PATCH 2.6.32 40/38] security: add cred argument to security_capable()

[Willy Tarreau]

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chris Wright <chrisw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6037b715d6fab139742c3df8851db4c823081561 upstream.

Expand security_capable() to include cred, so that it can be usable in a
wider range of call sites.
