[PATCH v4 4/8] LSM: lsm_get_self_attr syscall for LSM self attributes

Create a system call lsm_get_self_attr() to provide the security
module maintained attributes of the current process. Historically
these attributes have been exposed to user space via entries in
procfs under /proc/self/attr.

Attributes are provided as a collection of lsm_ctx structures
which are placed into a user supplied buffer. Each structure
identifys the size of the attribute, and the attribute value.
The format of the attribute value is defined by the security
module, but will always be \0 terminated. The ctx_len value
will always be strlen(ctx)+1.

        | __kernel_size_t ctx_len |
        ---------------------------
        | __u8 ctx[ctx_len]       |
