LSM: SafeSetID: refactor safesetid_security_capable()
At the moment, safesetid_security_capable() has two nested conditional blocks, and one big comment for all the logic. Chop it up and reduce the amount of indentation. Signed-off-by: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Signed-off-by: Micah Morton <mortonm@chromium.org>
