[PATCH net-next] tun: fix group permission check

[Stas Sergeev]

Currently tun checks the group permission even if the user have matched.
Besides going against the usual permission semantic, this has a
very interesting implication: if the tun group is not among the
supplementary groups of the tun user, then effectively no one can
access the tun device. CAP_SYS_ADMIN still can, but its the same as
not setting the tun ownership.

This patch relaxes the group checking so that either the user match
or the group match is enough. This avoids the situation when no one
can access the device even though the ownership is properly set.

Also I simplified the logic by removing the redundant inversions:
tun_not_capable() --> !tun_capable()
