For my package found in OBS in benchmark:kdiskmark I would like a whitelisting
for the following rpmlint error:

[   72s] kdiskmark.x86_64: I: polkit-cant-acquire-privilege
org.jonmagon.kdiskmark.dropcache (??:no:auth_admin_keep)

[   72s] kdiskmark.x86_64: E: polkit-untracked-privilege (Badness: 10000)
org.jonmagon.kdiskmark.dropcache (??:no:auth_admin_keep)

[   72s] kdiskmark.x86_64: E: suse-dbus-unauthorized-service (Badness: 10000)
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.jonmagon.kdiskmark.service
[   72s] kdiskmark.x86_64: E: suse-dbus-unauthorized-service (Badness: 10000)
/usr/share/dbus-1/system.d/org.jonmagon.kdiskmark.conf

The newer version uses helper via K5Auth to write to /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches.
This action drops pagecache and is safe because dirty pages are not destroyed,
but this resolves situations when the kernel ignores O_DIRECT and then the app
reports unreal high performance.
