PCI/sysfs: Add CAP_SYS_ADMIN check to __resource_resize_store()

Browse source

Currently, the __resource_resize_store() allows writing to the
resourceN_resize sysfs attribute to change a BAR's size without checking
for capabilities, currently relying only on the file access check.

Resizing a BAR modifies PCI device configuration and can disrupt active
drivers.  After the upcoming conversion to static attributes, it will also
trigger resource file updates via sysfs_update_groups().

Add a CAP_SYS_ADMIN check to prevent unprivileged users from performing BAR
resize operations.
