Any additional information should be obtained using lsm_get_self_attr().
If there's a "flag" value if should be provided as a LSM_FLAG there.

There are objections to using the stack, doing an allocation, and doing
multiple put_user() calls. I just picked one. There's usually only going
to be one call, so this is the best in most cases.
