[PATCH 3/3] selinux: require EXECMEM for forced ptrace poke

[Jann Horn <jann@xxxxxxxxx>]

This restricts forced writes to private R+X mappings using the EXECMEM
permission. To avoid a breaking change, a new policy capability needs to
be enabled before the new restrictions take effect.

Unlike most other SELinux hooks, this one takes the subject credentials as
an argument instead of looking up current_cred(). This is done because the
security_forced_write() LSM hook can be invoked from within the write
handler of /proc/$pid/mem, where current_cred() is pretty useless.

Changed in v3:
 - minor: symmetric comment (Ingo Molnar)
 - use helper struct (Ingo Molnar)
 - add new policy capability for enabling forced write checks
   (Stephen Smalley)
