4be2700fb7 [NetLabel]: correct usage of RCU locking
This fixes some awkward, and perhaps even problematic, RCU lock usage in the
NetLabel code as well as some other related trivial cleanups found when
looking through the RCU locking.  Most of the changes involve removing the
redundant RCU read locks wrapping spinlocks in the case of a RCU writer.

23bcdc1ade SELinux: enable dynamic activation/deactivation of NetLabel/SELinux enforcement
Create a new NetLabel KAPI interface, netlbl_enabled(), which reports on the
current runtime status of NetLabel based on the existing configuration.  LSMs
that make use of NetLabel, i.e. SELinux, can use this new function to determine
if they should perform NetLabel access checks.  This patch changes the
NetLabel/SELinux glue code such that SELinux only enforces NetLabel related
access checks when netlbl_enabled() returns true.

At present NetLabel is considered to be enabled when there is at least one
labeled protocol configuration present.  The result is that by default NetLabel
is considered to be disabled, however, as soon as an administrator configured
a CIPSO DOI definition NetLabel is enabled and SELinux starts enforcing
NetLabel related access controls - including unlabeled packet controls.

This patch also tries to consolidate the multiple "#ifdef CONFIG_NETLABEL"
blocks into a single block to ease future review as recommended by Linus.

17c157c889 [GENL]: Add genlmsg_put_reply() to simplify building reply headers
By modyfing genlmsg_put() to take a genl_family and by adding
genlmsg_put_reply() the process of constructing the netlink
and generic netlink headers is simplified.

81878d27fd [GENL]: Add genlmsg_reply() to simply unicast replies to requests
A generic netlink user has no interest in knowing how to
address the source of the original request.

339bf98ffc [NETLINK]: Do precise netlink message allocations where possible
Account for the netlink message header size directly in nlmsg_new()
instead of relying on the caller calculate it correctly.

Replaces error handling of message construction functions when
constructing notifications with bug traps since a failure implies
a bug in calculating the size of the skb.

95d4e6be25 [NetLabel]: audit fixups due to delayed feedback
Fix some issues Steve Grubb had with the way NetLabel was using the audit
subsystem.  This should make NetLabel more consistent with other kernel
generated audit messages specifying configuration changes.

d15c345fe3 [NetLabel]: core NetLabel subsystem
Add a new kernel subsystem, NetLabel, to provide explicit packet
labeling services (CIPSO, RIPSO, etc.) to LSM developers.  NetLabel is
designed to work in conjunction with a LSM to intercept and decode
security labels on incoming network packets as well as ensure that
outgoing network packets are labeled according to the security
mechanism employed by the LSM.  The NetLabel subsystem is configured
through a Generic NETLINK interface described in the header files
included in this patch.
