The SafeSetID LSM has functionality for restricting setuid() calls based
on its configured security policies. This patch adds the analogous
functionality for setgid() calls. This is mostly a copy-and-paste change
with some code deduplication, plus slight modifications/name changes to
the policy-rule-related structs (now contain GID rules in addition to
the UID ones) and some type generalization since SafeSetID now needs to
deal with kgid_t and kuid_t types.

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.

parent_kuid and child_kuid are kuids, there is no reason to make them
uint64_t. (And anyway, in the kernel, the normal name for that would be
u64, not uint64_t.)
check_setuid_policy_hashtable_key() and
check_setuid_policy_hashtable_key_value() are basically the same thing,
merge them.
Also fix the comment that claimed that (1<<8)==128.

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.
