capabilites: introduce new has_ns_capabilities_noaudit
For consistency in interfaces, introduce a new interface called has_ns_capabilities_noaudit. It checks if the given task has the given capability in the given namespace. Use this new function by has_capabilities_noaudit. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Acked-by: Serge E. Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com>
