The fact that we need CAP_SYS_RAIO for FIBMAP is pretty silly, given
that FIEMAP does not require privileges --- and in fact the preferred
interface.  Why not just simply drop the requirement for privileges
for FIBMAP?

(Seth, Serge, this isn't a real objection to your patch; but the fact
that FIBMAP requires root has always been a bit silly, and this would
be a great opportunity to simplify things a bit.)
