[PATCH] smack: reject relabel-self writes from io_uring workers

[Nguyen Ngoc Thang]

smk_write_relabel_self() calls commit_creds() on current. When the write
is issued through io_uring it runs on an io-wq worker, and io_uring
override_creds()es the submitter's creds when they differ from the
worker's. commit_creds() then trips BUG_ON(task->cred != task->real_cred):

  kernel BUG at kernel/cred.c:376!
  commit_creds
  smk_write_relabel_self
  loop_rw_iter
  io_write
  io_wq_submit_work
  io_worker_handle_work
  io_wq_worker

Even without the override, committing creds on a worker would relabel
the worker rather than the submitting task. Refuse the write from
PF_IO_WORKER context.

Reproduced under QEMU (x86, v7.3-rc3 + 00834fcb20d0) with a small io_uring
program: async IORING_OP_WRITE to /sys/fs/smackfs/relabel-self to spawn
the worker, a direct write() to change the submitter's creds, then a
second async write. Before: BUG at kernel/cred.c:376. After: the write
fails with -EOPNOTSUPP and the program completes.
