[RFC v4 03/10] Creation of "check_vmflags" LSM hook

Creation of a new LSM hook to check if a given configuration of vmflags,
for a new memory allocation request, should be allowed or not.
It's placed in "do_mmap", "do_brk_flags", "__install_special_mapping"
and "setup_arg_pages".
When loading an ELF, this hook is also used to determine what to do
with an RWE PT_GNU_STACK header. This allows LSM to force the loader
to silently ignore executable stack markings, which is useful a thing to
do when trampoline emulation is available.
