The skfp_ioctl function in drivers/net/skfp/skfddi.c in the Linux
kernel before 2.6.28.6 permits SKFP_CLR_STATS requests only when the
CAP_NET_ADMIN capability is absent, instead of when this capability is
present, which allows local users to reset the driver statistics,
related to an "inverted logic" issue.
