[PATCH v11 16/25] LSM: Use lsmcontext in security_dentry_init_security

[Casey Schaufler]

Change the security_dentry_init_security() interface to
fill an lsmcontext structure instead of a void * data area
and a length. The lone caller of this interface is NFS4,
which may make copies of the data using its own mechanisms.
A rework of the nfs4 code to use the lsmcontext properly
is a significant project, so the coward's way out is taken,
and the lsmcontext data from security_dentry_init_security()
is copied, then released directly.

This interface does not use the "display". There is currently
not case where that is useful or reasonable.
