[PATCH 009 of 12] md: Require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for (re-)configuring md devices via sysfs.

[NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>]

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
