cachefiles: Add security derivation Implement code to derive a new set of creds for the cachefiles to use when making VFS or I/O calls and to change the auditing info since the application interacting with the network filesystem is not accessing the cache directly. Cachefiles uses override_creds() to change the effective creds temporarily. set_security_override_from_ctx() is called to derive the LSM 'label' that the cachefiles driver will act with. set_create_files_as() is called to determine the LSM 'label' that will be applied to files and directories created in the cache. These functions alter the new creds. Also implement a couple of functions to wrap the calls to begin/end cred overriding.

cachefiles: Parse the "secctx" immediately Instead of storing an opaque string, call security_secctx_to_secid() right in the "secctx" command handler and store only the numeric "secid". This eliminates an unnecessary string allocation and allows the daemon to receive errors when writing the "secctx" command instead of postponing the error to the "bind" command handler. For example, if the kernel was built without `CONFIG_SECURITY`, "bind" will return `EOPNOTSUPP`, but the daemon doesn't know why. With this patch, the "secctx" will instead return `EOPNOTSUPP` which is the right context for this error. This patch adds a boolean flag `have_secid` because I'm not sure if we can safely assume that zero is the special secid value for "not set". This appears to be true for SELinux, Smack and AppArmor, but since this attribute is not documented, I'm unable to derive a stable guarantee for that.
