This sounds like neither a systemd nor an SELinux issue.  Are you
seeing anything more specific, like an AVC error?

Anyway the CAP_* symbols refer to the kernel "capabilities" (do a man
capabilities). These are kernel-level security features, but unrelated
to SELinux.

The output of lsmod may also help somebody who's more familiar with this.
