[ Upstream commit b6fe938317eed58e8c687bd5965a956e15fb5828 ]
Previously a failed read of /dev/cpu_dma_latency erroneously complained turbostat: capget(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) failed, try "# setcap cap_sys_admin=ep ./turbostat
This went unnoticed because this file is typically visible to root, and turbostat was typically run as root.
Going forward, when a non-root user can run turbostat... Complain about failed read access to this file only if --debug is used.
