H A Dnamei.c2a4c2242 Fri Mar 10 11:14:18 CST 2017 Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> fs: switch order of CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH checks

generic_permission() presently checks CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE prior to
CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. This can cause misleading audit messages when
using a LSM such as SELinux or AppArmor, since CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE
may not be required for the operation. Flip the order of the
tests so that CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE is only checked when required for
the operation.
