Subject: [PATCH] For -mm only - inode_getsecurity rework

From: Casey Schaufler <casey@...aufler-ca.com>

This represents the rework required for changes to inode_getsecurity.
It is relative to smack24rc2v11, which is the version added to -mm,
but subsequently removed because of the change to inode_getsecurity
