[PATCH 2/2] Allow udevadm_t to use dac_read_search capability

From: Laurent Bigonville <[email protected]>

udevadm trigger tries to read files under /sys/module/ that might not be
readable by root, for example:

--w------- 1 root root 4096 sep  5 17:06 /sys/module/snd_hda_codec_generic/uevent

We choose to allow it here because, according to Grift,
"the cap_dac_read_search could maybe be dontaudited, but then
cap_dac_override would have to be dontaudited as well.
cap_dac_read_search would also be triggered when you run `sudo udevadm
...` where pwd or/and oldpwd is ~"
