[PATCHv2] nvme: restrict management ioctls to admin

From: Keith Busch <kbusch at kernel.org>

The passthrough commands already have this restriction, but the other
operations do not. Require the same capabilities for all users as all of
these operations, which include resets and rescans, can be disruptive.

v1->v2:
  Check the user's capability in each case individually.
