Subject: [PATCH 5/6] conntrack: export lsm context rather than internal secid
	via netlink

The conntrack code can export the internal secid to userspace.  These are
dynamic, can change on lsm changes, and have no meaning in userspace.  We
should instead be sending lsm contexts to userspace instead.  This patch sends
the secctx (rather than secid) to userspace over the netlink socket.  We use a
new field CTA_SECCTX and stop using the the old CTA_SECMARK field since it did
not send particularly useful information.
