[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.20 296/304] fs/proc/base.c: use ns_capable instead of capable for timerslack_ns

[ Upstream commit 8da0b4f692c6d90b09c91f271517db746a22ff67 ]

Access to timerslack_ns is controlled by a process having CAP_SYS_NICE
in its effective capability set, but the current check looks in the root
namespace instead of the process' user namespace. Since a process is
allowed to do other activities controlled by CAP_SYS_NICE inside a
namespace, it should also be able to adjust timerslack_ns.
