CRYPTO_USER requires CAP_NET_ADMIN for all operations. Most information
provided by CRYPTO_MSG_GETALG is also accessible through /proc/modules
and AF_ALG. CRYPTO_MSG_GETALG should not require CAP_NET_ADMIN so that
processes without CAP_NET_ADMIN can use CRYPTO_MSG_GETALG to get cipher
details, such as cipher priorities, for AF_ALG.
