Check if the "CAP_SYS_ADMIN" capability flag is set before parsing user
input as it makes more sense to first check whether the current user
actually has the right permissions before accepting any input from such
user.
This will also make order in which enable_store() and msi_bus_store()
perform the "CAP_SYS_ADMIN" capability check consistent with other
PCI-related sysfs objects that first verify whether user has this
capability set.
