[PATCH v6 1/8] security: define new LSM hook named security_kernel_load_data

[Mimi Zohar]

Differentiate between the kernel reading a file specified by userspace
from the kernel loading a buffer containing data provided by userspace.
This patch defines a new LSM hook named security_kernel_load_data().

Changelog v6:
- Updated patch description

Changelog v5:
- Share the kernel_load_data_id and kernel_read_file_id values,
simplifying Loadpin's and other LSMs calling one LSM hook from the
other.

Changelog v4:
- Define new LSM hook named security_kernel_load_data.

Changelog v3:
- Rename security_kernel_read_file to security_kernel_read_data().

Changelog v2:
- Define a generic wrapper named security_kernel_read_blob() for
security_kernel_read_file().

Changelog v1:
- Define and call security_kexec_load(), a wrapper for
security_kernel_read_file().
