In commit ce6ada35bd ("security: Define CAP_SYSLOG") Serge Hallyn
introduced CAP_SYSLOG, but broke backwards compatibility by no longer
accepting CAP_SYS_ADMIN as an override (it would cause a warning and
then reject the operation).
Re-instate CAP_SYS_ADMIN - but keeping the warning - as an acceptable
capability until any legacy applications have been updated. There are
apparently applications out there that drop all capabilities except for
CAP_SYS_ADMIN in order to access the syslog.
(This is a re-implementation of a patch by Serge, cleaning the logic up
and making the code more readable)

Commit 93aae17af1 ("sr: implement
sr_check_events()") replaced the media_changed op with the
check_events op in drivers/scsi/sr.c
All users that check for the CDC_MEDIA_CHANGED capbility try both
the check_events op and the media_changed op, but register_cdrom()
was requiring media_changed.
This patch fixes the capability checking.
The cdrom_select_disc ioctl is also using the two operations, so
they should be required for CDC_SELECT_DISC too.

Commit 7667aa0630 added logic to wait for
the last queue of the group to become busy (have at least one request),
so that the group does not lose out for not being continuously
backlogged. The commit did not check for the condition that the last
queue already has some requests. As a result, if the queue already has
requests, wait_busy is set. Later on, cfq_select_queue() checks the
flag, and decides that since the queue has a request now and wait_busy
is set, the queue is expired. This results in early expiration of the
queue.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a check to see if queue already
has requests. If it does, wait_busy is not set. As a result, time slices
do not expire early.
The queues with more than one request are usually buffered writers.
Testing shows improvement in isolation between buffered writers.

The TCP tracking code has a special case that allows to return
NF_REPEAT if we receive a new SYN packet while in TIME_WAIT state.
In this situation, the TCP tracking code destroys the existing
conntrack to start a new clean session.
[DESTROY] tcp 6 src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=38925 dport=8000 src=192.168.1.2 dst=192.168.1.100 sport=8000 dport=38925 [ASSURED]
[NEW] tcp 6 120 SYN_SENT src=192.168.0.2 dst=192.168.1.2 sport=38925 dport=8000 [UNREPLIED] src=192.168.1.2 dst=192.168.1.100 sport=8000 dport=38925
However, this is a problem for the iptables' CT target event filtering
which will not work in this case since the conntrack template will not
be there for the new session. To fix this, we reassign the conntrack
template to the packet if we return NF_REPEAT.
