Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] selinux: Propagate RCU walk status from 'security_inode_follow_link()'

'selinux_inode_follow_link()' can be called as part of an RCU path walk,
and is passed a 'bool rcu' parameter to indicate whether or not it is
being called from within an RCU read-side critical section.

Unfortunately, this knowledge is not propagated further and, instead,
'avc_has_perm()' unconditionally passes a flags argument of '0' to both
'avc_has_perm_noaudit()' and 'avc_audit()' which may block.

Introduce 'avc_has_perm_flags()' which can be used safely from within an
RCU read-side critical section.
