[GIT PULL] xattr audit fix for v6.2

[Seth Forshee <sforshee@kernel.org>]

Hi Linus,

/* Summary */
This is a single patch to remove auditing of the
capability check in simple_xattr_list(). This check is done to check
whether trusted xattrs should be included by listxattr(2). SELinux will
normally log a denial when capable() is called and the task's SELinux
context doesn't have the corresponding capability permission allowed,
which can end up spamming the log. Since a failed check here cannot be
used to infer malicious intent, auditing is of no real value, and it
makes sense to stop auditing the capability check.

/* Testing */
The patch is based off of 6.1-rc4 and has been sitting in linux-next. No
build failures or warnings were observed and fstests, selftests, and LTP
show no regressions.

/* Conflicts */
At the time of creating this PR no merge conflicts were reported from
linux-next. A test merge with current mainline also showed no conflicts.
