kernfs: initialize security of newly created nodes
Use the new security_kernfs_init_security() hook to allow LSMs to
possibly assign a non-default security context to a newly created kernfs
node based on the attributes of the new node and also its parent node.
This fixes an issue with cgroupfs under SELinux, where newly created
cgroup subdirectories/files would not inherit its parent's context if
it had been set explicitly to a non-default value (other than the genfs
context specified by the policy). This can be reproduced as follows (on
Fedora/RHEL):
# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/test
# # Need permissive to change the label under Fedora policy:
# setenforce 0
# chcon -t container_file_t /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/test
# ls -lZ /sys/fs/cgroup/unified
