Subject: [PATCH 1/2] security, lsm: Introduce security_create_user_ns()

Preventing user namespace (privileged or otherwise) creation comes in a
few of forms in order of granularity:

        1. /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces sysctl
        2. OS specific patch(es)
        3. CONFIG_USER_NS

To block a task based on its attributes, the LSM hook cred_prepare is a
good candidate for use because it provides more granular control, and
it is called before create_user_ns():

        cred = prepare_creds()
                security_prepare_creds()
                        call_int_hook(cred_prepare, ...
        if (cred)
                create_user_ns(cred)

Since security_prepare_creds() is meant for LSMs to copy and prepare
credentials, access control is an unintended use of the hook. Therefore
introduce a new function security_create_user_ns() with an accompanying
create_user_ns LSM hook.

This hook takes the prepared creds and the newly created user namespace
for LSM authors to write policy against. On success, the new namespace
is applied to credentials, otherwise an error is returned.
