Sorry to be late in responding, but the proc inode security structure
needs to be updated not only upon a context-changing exec but also
upon a setcon(3) aka write to /proc/self/attr/current just like the
uid/gid needs to be updated not only upon a setuid exec but also upon
a setuid(2).  I'm also unclear as to why you can't call
security_task_to_inode during RCU lookup; it doesn't block/sleep
AFAICT.
All it does is take a spinlock and update a few fields.
