Subject: [RFC][PATCH 2/7] selinux: label new file descriptors using file->f_cred

New file descriptors are labeled using the credentials set in the 'f_cred'
field of the same structure. This permits to distinguish objects directly
managed by a user process from those created by a kernel service acting
on behalf of the application.
