[WIP][RFC][PATCH 2/3] lsm notifier: distinguish between state change and policy change

This patch introduces a new event type called LSM_STATE_CHANGE to
distinguish between state change and policy change.

The purpose of this patch is to let upper LSMs know when they can get the
label assigned by the lower LSMs (e.g. SELinux) with
security_secid_to_secctx().
