[PATCH] md: require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for (re-)configuring md devices via sysfs
The ioctl requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN, so sysfs should too. Note that we don't
require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for reading attributes even though the ioctl does.
There is no reason to limit the read access, and much of the information is
already available via /proc/mdstat
