This commit replaces the use of rcu_swap_protected() with the more
intuitively appealing rcu_replace_pointer() as a step towards removing
rcu_swap_protected().

The first time a rule set is configured for SafeSetID, we shouldn't be
trying to release the previously configured ruleset, since there isn't
one. Currently, the pointer that would point to a previously configured
ruleset is uninitialized on first rule set configuration, leading to a
crash when we try to call release_ruleset with that pointer.

Someone might write a ruleset like the following, expecting that it
securely constrains UID 1 to UIDs 1, 2 and 3:
1:2
1:3
However, because no constraints are applied to UIDs 2 and 3, an attacker
with UID 1 can simply first switch to UID 2, then switch to any UID from
there. The secure way to write this ruleset would be:
1:2
1:3
2:2
3:3
, which uses "transition to self" as a way to inhibit the default-allow
policy without allowing anything specific.
This is somewhat unintuitive. To make sure that policy authors don't
accidentally write insecure policies because of this, let the kernel verify
that a new ruleset does not contain any entries that are constrained, but
transitively unconstrained.

For debugging a running system, it is very helpful to be able to see what
policy the system is using. Add a read handler that can dump out a copy of
the loaded policy.

The current API of the SafeSetID LSM uses one write() per rule, and applies
each written rule instantly. This has several downsides:
- While a policy is being loaded, once a single parent-child pair has been
loaded, the parent is restricted to that specific child, even if
subsequent rules would allow transitions to other child UIDs. This means
that during policy loading, set*uid() can randomly fail.
- To replace the policy without rebooting, it is necessary to first flush
all old rules. This creates a time window in which no constraints are
placed on the use of CAP_SETUID.
- If we want to perform sanity checks on the final policy, this requires
that the policy isn't constructed in a piecemeal fashion without telling
the kernel when it's done.
Other kernel APIs - including things like the userns code and netfilter -
avoid this problem by performing updates atomically. Luckily, SafeSetID
hasn't landed in a stable (upstream) release yet, so maybe it's not too
late to completely change the API.
The new API for SafeSetID is: If you want to change the policy, open
"safesetid/whitelist_policy" and write the entire policy,
newline-delimited, in there.

Looking at current_cred() in write handlers is bad form, stop doing that.
Also, let's just require that the write is coming from the initial user
namespace. Especially SAFESETID_WHITELIST_FLUSH requires privilege over all
namespaces, and SAFESETID_WHITELIST_ADD should probably require it as well.

In preparation for changing the policy parsing logic, refactor the line
parsing logic to be less verbose and move it into a separate function.

In case of error, the function securityfs_create_dir() returns ERR_PTR()
and never returns NULL. The NULL test in the return value check should
be replaced with IS_ERR().

SafeSetID gates the setid family of syscalls to restrict UID/GID
transitions from a given UID/GID to only those approved by a
system-wide whitelist. These restrictions also prohibit the given
UIDs/GIDs from obtaining auxiliary privileges associated with
CAP_SET{U/G}ID, such as allowing a user to set up user namespace UID
mappings. For now, only gating the set*uid family of syscalls is
supported, with support for set*gid coming in a future patch set.
