security: keys: perform capable check only on privileged operations

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit 2d7f105edbb3b2be5ffa4d833abbf9b6965e9ce7 ]

If the current task fails the check for the queried capability via
`capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN)` LSMs like SELinux generate a denial message.
Issuing such denial messages unnecessarily can lead to a policy author
granting more privileges to a subject than needed to silence them.

Reorder CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks after the check whether the operation is
actually privileged.
