fanotify: avoid/silence premature LSM capability checks

Make sure calling capable()/ns_capable() actually leads to access denied
when false is returned, because these functions emit an audit record
when a Linux Security Module denies the capability, which makes it
difficult to avoid allowing/silencing unnecessary permissions in
security policies (namely with SELinux).

Where the return value just used to set a flag, use the non-auditing
ns_capable_noaudit() instead.
