    netlink: kill eff_cap from struct netlink_skb_parms
    
    Netlink message processing in the kernel is synchronous these days,
    capabilities can be checked directly in security_netlink_recv() from
    the current process.

Thanks for doing that Patrick.  I looked at this earlier and thought
there was still an async path, but I guess that's just to another
userspace process.

BTW, I think you missed a couple connector based callers:

drivers/staging/pohmelfs/config.c:      if (!cap_raised(nsp->eff_cap, CAP_SYS_AD
drivers/video/uvesafb.c:        if (!cap_raised(nsp->eff_cap, CAP_SYS_ADMIN))

Fix those and:
