[PATCH v2 01/13] LSM: Add the lsmblob data structure.

When more than one security module is exporting data to audit and
networking sub-systems a single 32 bit integer is no longer
sufficient to represent the data. Add a structure to be used instead.

The lsmblob structure definition is intended to keep the LSM
specific information private to the individual security modules.
The module specific information is included in a new set of
header files under include/lsm. Each security module is allowed
to define the information included for its use in the lsmblob.
SELinux includes a u32 secid. Smack includes a pointer into its
global label list. The conditional compilation based on feature
inclusion is contained in the include/lsm files.
