[PATCH 4/6] LSM: manage task security blobs

[Casey Schaufler]

Subject: [PATCH 4/6] LSM: manage task security blobs

Move management of task security blobs into the security
infrastructure. Modules are required to identify the space
they require. At this time there are no modules that use
task blobs.
