    [SCSI] aacraid: fix security weakness · 5f78e89b

    Actually there are several but one is trivially fixed
    
    1.	FSACTL_GET_NEXT_ADAPTER_FIB ioctl does not lock dev->fib_list
    but needs to
    2.	Ditto for FSACTL_CLOSE_GET_ADAPTER_FIB
    3.	It is possible to construct an attack via the SRB ioctls where
    the user obtains assorted elevated privileges. Various approaches are
    possible, the trivial ones being things like writing to the raw media
    via scsi commands and the swap image of other executing programs with
    higher privileges.
    
    So the ioctls should be CAP_SYS_RAWIO - at least all the FIB manipulating
    ones. This is a bandaid fix for #3 but probably the ioctls should grow
    their own capable checks. The other two bugs need someone competent in that
    driver to fix them.
