Add a security hook that allows an LSM to rule on whether a notification
message is allowed to be inserted into a particular watch queue.
The hook is given the following information:
(1) The credentials of the triggerer (which may be init_cred for a system
notification, eg. a hardware error).
(2) The credentials of the whoever set the watch.
(3) The notification message.
