This patch set does two things. First it factors the section of vfs_setxattr
that does the real work into a helper function. This allows LSMs the ability to
set the xattrs they need without hitting the permission check inside
vfs_setxattr each time. Second it introduces two new hooks
inode_{get,set}secctx. The first hook retreives all security information the
LSM feels is relavent in the form of a security context. The second hook given
this context can set the in-core and on-disk store for the particular inode.
This differentiation is necessary since there are times when it is necessary
only to set the in-core representation.
