Johannes Wiesböck bf29555f5b rtnetlink: Allow deleting FDB entries in user namespace
Creating FDB entries is possible from a non-initial user namespace when
having CAP_NET_ADMIN, yet, when deleting FDB entries, processes receive
an EPERM because the capability is always checked against the initial
user namespace. This restricts the FDB management from unprivileged
containers.

Drop the netlink_capable check in rtnl_fdb_del as it was originally
dropped in c5c351088a and reintroduced in 1690be63a2 without
intention.

This patch was tested using a container on GyroidOS, where it was
possible to delete FDB entries from an unprivileged user namespace and
private network namespace.

Fixes: 1690be63a2 ("bridge: Add vlan support to static neighbors")
