[PATCH v3 1/2] LSM: add SafeSetID module that gates setid calls

[mortonm at chromium.org]

From: Micah Morton <mortonm at chromium.org>

This change ensures that the set*uid family of syscalls in kernel/sys.c
(setreuid, setuid, setresuid, setfsuid) all call ns_capable_common with
the CAP_OPT_INSETID flag, so capability checks in the security_capable
hook can know whether they are being called from within a set*uid
syscall. This change is a no-op by itself, but is needed for the
proposed SafeSetID LSM.

Signed-off-by: Micah Morton <mortonm at chromium.org>

These changes used to be part of the main SafeSetID LSM patch set.
