sysctl: require CAP_SYS_RAWIO to set mmap_min_addr
Currently the mmap_min_addr value can only be bypassed during mmap when the task has CAP_SYS_RAWIO. However, the mmap_min_addr sysctl value itself can be adjusted to 0 if euid == 0, allowing a bypass without CAP_SYS_RAWIO. This patch adds a check for the capability before allowing mmap_min_addr to be changed.
