integrity: implement get and set acl hook
The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1]. So far posix acls were passed as a void blob to the security and integrity modules. Some of them like evm then proceed to interpret the void pointer and convert it into the kernel internal struct posix acl representation to perform their integrity checking magic. This is obviously pretty problematic as that requires knowledge that only the vfs is guaranteed to have and has lead to various bugs. Add a proper security hook for setting posix acls and pass down the posix acls in their appropriate vfs format instead of hacking it through a void pointer stored in the uapi format. I spent considerate time in the security module and integrity infrastructure and audited all codepaths. EVM is the only part that really has restrictions based on the actual posix acl values passed through it (e.g., i_mode). Before this dedicated hook EVM used to translate from the uapi posix acl format sent to it in the form of a void pointer into the vfs format. This is not a good thing. Instead of hacking around in the uapi struct give EVM the posix acls in the appropriate vfs format and perform sane permissions checks that mirror what it used to to in the generic xattr hook. IMA doesn't have any restrictions on posix acls. When posix acls are changed it just wants to update its appraisal status to trigger an EVM revalidation. The removal of posix acls is equivalent to passing NULL to the posix set acl hooks. This is the same as before through the generic xattr api.
