    pci: use security_capable() when checking capablities during config space 
read
    
    Eric Paris noted that commit de139a3 ("pci: check caps from sysfs file
    open to read device dependent config space") caused the capability check
    to bypass security modules and potentially auditing.  Rectify this by
    calling security_capable() when checking the open file's capabilities
    for config space reads.
