Stas Sergeev 5c2b1d9386 tun: fix group permission check 
[ Upstream commit 3ca459eaba ]

Currently tun checks the group permission even if the user have matched.
Besides going against the usual permission semantic, this has a
very interesting implication: if the tun group is not among the
supplementary groups of the tun user, then effectively no one can
access the tun device. CAP_SYS_ADMIN still can, but its the same as
not setting the tun ownership.

This patch relaxes the group checking so that either the user match
or the group match is enough. This avoids the situation when no one
can access the device even though the ownership is properly set.

Also I simplified the logic by removing the redundant inversions:
tun_not_capable() --> !tun_capable()

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
