Paul Moore b1edeb1023 netlabel: Replace protocol/NetLabel linking with refrerence counts
NetLabel has always had a list of backpointers in the CIPSO DOI definition
structure which pointed to the NetLabel LSM domain mapping structures which
referenced the CIPSO DOI struct.  The rationale for this was that when an
administrator removed a CIPSO DOI from the system all of the associated
NetLabel LSM domain mappings should be removed as well; a list of
backpointers made this a simple operation.

Unfortunately, while the backpointers did make the removal easier they were
a bit of a mess from an implementation point of view which was making
further development difficult.  Since the removal of a CIPSO DOI is a
realtively rare event it seems to make sense to remove this backpointer
list as the optimization was hurting us more then it was helping.  However,
we still need to be able to track when a CIPSO DOI definition is being used
so replace the backpointer list with a reference count.  In order to
preserve the current functionality of removing the associated LSM domain
mappings when a CIPSO DOI is removed we walk the LSM domain mapping table,
removing the relevant entries.

Paul Moore eda61d32e8 NetLabel: introduce a new kernel configuration API for NetLabel
Add a new set of configuration functions to the NetLabel/LSM API so that
LSMs can perform their own configuration of the NetLabel subsystem without
relying on assistance from userspace.

Paul Moore 95d4e6be25 [NetLabel]: audit fixups due to delayed feedback
Fix some issues Steve Grubb had with the way NetLabel was using the audit
subsystem.  This should make NetLabel more consistent with other kernel
generated audit messages specifying configuration changes.

Paul Moore d15c345fe3 [NetLabel]: core NetLabel subsystem
Add a new kernel subsystem, NetLabel, to provide explicit packet
labeling services (CIPSO, RIPSO, etc.) to LSM developers.  NetLabel is
designed to work in conjunction with a LSM to intercept and decode
security labels on incoming network packets as well as ensure that
outgoing network packets are labeled according to the security
mechanism employed by the LSM.  The NetLabel subsystem is configured
through a Generic NETLINK interface described in the header files
included in this patch.
