[PATCH 08/28] SECURITY: Allow kernel services to override LSM settings for task actions [try #2]

[David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>]

Allow kernel services to override LSM settings appropriate to the actions
performed by a task by duplicating a security record, modifying it and then
using task_struct::act_as to point to it when performing operations on behalf
of a task.

This is used, for example, by CacheFiles which has to transparently access the
cache on behalf of a process that thinks it is doing, say, NFS accesses with a
potentially inappropriate (with respect to accessing the cache) set of
security data.

This patch provides two LSM hooks for modifying a task security record:

 (*) security_kernel_act_as() which allows modification of the security datum
     with which a task acts on other objects (most notably files).

 (*) security_create_files_as() which allows modification of the security
     datum that is used to initialise the security data on a file that a task
     creates.
