[patch 5/7] BSD Secure Levels: allow setuid/setgid on root user processes

[Michael Halcrow <mhalcrow@us.ibm.com>]

This is the fifth in a series of seven patches to the BSD Secure
Levels LSM.  It allows setuid and setgid on a process if the user is
already root.  This allows non-root users to log in.  Thanks to Serge
Hallyn for the suggestion.
