I think we're missing a copy_struct_from_user() call somewhere; how
does @lctx get populated in the non-LSM_FLAG_SINGLE case?  How does
it move to the next entry in the buffer?

Am I missing something obvious?  Was this code tested?

Once again, I don't see a reasonable way to support setting an
attribute across multiple LSMs, but for the sake of consistency
across both the getselfattr and setselfattr syscalls, what do
people think about *requiring* the LSM_FLAG_SINGLE flag here in
the setselfattr syscalls since it can only operate on a single
LSM at a time?  A zero flag value would return -EINVAL.
