Subject: [PATCH] syslog: provide stub check_syslog_permissions

From: Sebastian Schmidt <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 21:22:39 -0800

When building without CONFIG_PRINTK, we need to provide a stub
check_syslog_permissions. As there is no way to turn on the
dmesg_restrict sysctl without CONFIG_PRINTK, return success.
