commit ead3b768bb51259e3a5f2287ff5fc9041eb6f450 upstream.
Zone management send operations (BLKRESETZONE, BLKOPENZONE, BLKCLOSEZONE and BLKFINISHZONE) should be allowed under the same permissions as write(). (write() does not require CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
Additionally, other ioctls like BLKSECDISCARD and BLKZEROOUT only check if the fd was successfully opened with FMODE_WRITE. (They do not require CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
Currently, zone management send operations require both CAP_SYS_ADMIN and that the fd was successfully opened with FMODE_WRITE.
Remove the CAP_SYS_ADMIN requirement, so that zone management send operations match the access control requirement of write(), BLKSECDISCARD and BLKZEROOUT.
