In user/userdebug builds, the ADB shell runs in the shell UID and thus
any capability checks will be denied by DAC even before you reach the
SELinux check.  In the eng build, the ADB shell runs as root (as if
you had run an adb root command on the userdebug build or were on the
emulator), and thus you will pass the DAC check and reach the SELinux
check.
