If Christian is okay with rewriting the vfs.rust.file tree, we can
drop commit 94d356c0335f ("rust: security: add abstraction for
secctx") from there and I'll update it and send it for inclusion in
the LSM tree instead. I'll need to drop the piece that ties together
`struct cred` and `secctx` from the patch, but I can follow up with a
small patch for that for the 6.14 merge window.
