Define mac_admin_ns_capable() as a wrapper for the combined ns_capable()
checks on CAP_MAC_ADMIN and CAP_SYS_ADMIN in a user namespace. Return
true on the check if either capability or both are available.
Use mac_admin_ns_capable() in place of capable(SYS_ADMIN). This will allow
an IMA namespace to read the policy with only CAP_MAC_ADMIN, which has
less privileges than CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
Since CAP_MAC_ADMIN is an additional capability added to an existing gate
avoid auditing in case it is not set.

v11:
- use ns_capable_noaudit for CAP_MAC_ADMIN to avoid auditing in this case
