[PATCH v4 8/8] Smack: Brutalist io_uring support

From: Casey Schaufler <casey at schaufler-ca.com>

Add Smack privilege checks for io_uring. Use CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE
for the override_creds case and CAP_MAC_ADMIN for creating a
polling thread. These choices are based on conjecture regarding
the intent of the surrounding code.
