Add lsm_name_to_attr(), which translates a text string to a

Add lsm_fill_user_ctx(), which fills a struct lsm_ctx, including
the trailing attribute value.
All are used in module specific components of LSM system calls.

Can we do a single copy_to_user() call? That would avoid inconsistent
user space data, could speed up a bit the operation, and make the code
easier to understand. To use the stack, we need to know the maximum size
of context_size for all use cases, which seems reasonable and can be
checked at build time (on each LSM side, and potentially with specific
context type passed as enum instead of context_size) and run time (for
this generic helper).
Well, actually the context_size should be inferred from id, and the
"local" size should be defined and check at build time against all
context ID sizes.
