[PATCH v3 1/1] fuse: Send security context of inode on file creation

When a new inode is created, send its security context to server along
with creation request (FUSE_CREAT, FUSE_MKNOD, FUSE_MKDIR and FUSE_SYMLINK).
This gives server an opportunity to create new file and set security
context (possibly atomically). In all the configurations it might not
be possible to set context atomically.

Like nfs and ceph, use security_dentry_init_security() to dermine security
context of inode and send it with create, mkdir, mknod, and symlink requests.

Following is the information sent to server.

fuse_sectx_header, fuse_secctx, xattr_name, security_context

- struct fuse_secctx_header
  This contains total number of security contexts being sent and total
  size of all the security contexts (including size of fuse_secctx_header).

- struct fuse_secctx.
  This contains size of security context which follows this structure.
  There is one fuse_secctx instance per security context.

- xattr name string.
  This string represents name of xattr which should be used while setting
  security context.

- security context.
  This is the actual security context whose size is specified in fuse_secctx
  struct.

Also add the FUSE_SECURITY_CTX flag for the `flags` field of the
fuse_init_out struct.  When this flag is set the kernel will append the
security context for a newly created inode to the request (create,
mkdir, mknod, and symlink).  The server is responsible for ensuring that
the inode appears atomically (preferrably) with the requested security
context.

For example, If the server is using SELinux and backed by a "real" linux
file system that supports extended attributes it can write the security
context value to /proc/thread-self/attr/fscreate before making the syscall
to create the inode.

This patch is based on patch from Chirantan Ekbote <chirantan at chromium.org>.
