[PATCH -v2 2/3] vm: use new has_capability_noaudit

From: Eric Paris
Date: Mon Nov 03 2008 - 16:28:28 EST


The oomkiller calculations make decisions based on capabilities. Since
these are not security decisions and LSMs should not record if they fall
the request they should use the new has_capability_noaudit() interface so
the denials will not be recorded.
