[PATCH] smack: /smack/doi: accept previously used values

Writing to /smack/doi a value that has ever been
written there in the past disables networking for
non-ambient labels.
E.g.

    # cat /smack/doi
    3
    # netlabelctl -p cipso list
    Configured CIPSO mappings (1)
     DOI value : 3
       mapping type : PASS_THROUGH
    # netlabelctl -p map list
    Configured NetLabel domain mappings (3)
     domain: "_" (IPv4)
       protocol: UNLABELED
     domain: DEFAULT (IPv4)
       protocol: CIPSO, DOI = 3
     domain: DEFAULT (IPv6)
       protocol: UNLABELED

    # cat /smack/ambient
    _
    # cat /proc/$$/attr/smack/current
    _
    # ping -c1 10.1.95.12
    64 bytes from 10.1.95.12: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.964 ms
    # echo foo >/proc/$$/attr/smack/current
    # ping -c1 10.1.95.12
    64 bytes from 10.1.95.12: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.956 ms
    unknown option 86

    # echo 4 >/smack/doi
    # echo 3 >/smack/doi
!>  [  214.050395] smk_cipso_doi:691 cipso add rc = -17
    # echo 3 >/smack/doi
!>  [  249.402261] smk_cipso_doi:678 remove rc = -2
!>  [  249.402261] smk_cipso_doi:691 cipso add rc = -17

    # ping -c1 10.1.95.12
!!> ping: 10.1.95.12: Address family for hostname not supported

    # echo _ >/proc/$$/attr/smack/current
    # ping -c1 10.1.95.12
    64 bytes from 10.1.95.12: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.617 ms

This happens because Smack keeps decommissioned DOIs,
fails to re-add them, and consequently refuses to add
the “default” domain map:

    # netlabelctl -p cipso list
    Configured CIPSO mappings (2)
     DOI value : 3
       mapping type : PASS_THROUGH
     DOI value : 4
       mapping type : PASS_THROUGH
    # netlabelctl -p map list
    Configured NetLabel domain mappings (2)
     domain: "_" (IPv4)
       protocol: UNLABELED
!>  (no ipv4 map for default domain here)
     domain: DEFAULT (IPv6)
       protocol: UNLABELED

Fix by clearing decommissioned DOI definitions and
serializing concurrent DOI updates with a new lock.

Also:
- allow /smack/doi to live unconfigured, since
  adding a map (netlbl_cfg_cipsov4_map_add) may fail.
  CIPSO_V4_DOI_UNKNOWN(0) indicates the unconfigured DOI
- add new DOI before removing the old default map,
  so the old map remains if the add fails
