[PATCH RFC -next 02/12] LSM: pass struct path to the inode_setsecctx hook

The inode_setsecctx hook and its security_inode_setsecctx() caller
in fs/nfsd operate on a dentry even though both have a struct path
available. The SELinux and Smack implementations write the label
through __vfs_setxattr_locked(), whose idmap argument they hardcode
to &nop_mnt_idmap.
Switch the hook to take a const struct path so that the upcoming
conversion of the xattr helpers to struct path can be reflected
directly in the implementations. For now the implementations keep
passing &nop_mnt_idmap together with path->dentry to
__vfs_setxattr_locked(), preserving the current behavior; they will
be switched to pass the path itself once the xattr helpers take one.
