[RFC] PCI: allow sysfs file owner to read the config space with CAP_SYS_RAWIO

[Allen Pais]

From: Allen Pais <apais@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

 Access to pci config space is explictly checked with CAP_SYS_ADMIN
in order to read configuration space past the frist 64B.

 Since the path is only for reading, could we use CAP_SYS_RAWIO?
This patch contains a simpler fix, I would love to hear from the
Maintainers on the approach.

 The other approach that I considered was to introduce and API
which would check for multiple capabilities, something similar to
perfmon_capable()/bpf_capable(). But I could not find more users
for the API and hence dropped it.

 The problem I am trying to solve is to avoid handing out
CAP_SYS_ADMIN for extended reads of the PCI config space.
