Subject: [PATCH v6 30/42] selinux: convert selinux_file_send_sigiotask() to namespace-aware helper

Convert selinux_file_send_sigiotask() to use the cred_task_has_perm()
namespace-aware permission checking helper. This required saving the
file owner cred in the file security blob for later use in this hook
function. Since the cred already includes the cred/task security blob
which has the task SID and the SELinux state/namespace, we can drop
those separate fields from the file_security_struct at the same time.
