Hi,

These patches add support to receive and set file security context at
the time of file creation. This is one of the components needed to
support SELinux on virtiofs.

I have posted kernel patches here just now.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20210924192442.916927-1-vgoyal@redhat.com/T/#m971f9001dd622b3f7a96a65899e3f146d2185841

These patches will allow users to configure virtiofsd in multiple modes
to set security context.

A. Guest and host selinux policies can work with each other.
	- virtiofsd will use /proc/thread-self/attr/fscreate knob to
	  set security context before file creation.

B. Remap guest selinux security xattr to something else say,
   trusted.virtiofs.security.selinux.
	- Give CAP_SYS_ADMIN to virtiofsd.
	- "-o -o xattrmap=:map:security.selinux:trusted.virtiofsd.:"

C. If no SELinux on host.
	- Give CAP_SYS_ADMIN to virtiofsd. 

I have tested mode A and B but yet to test mode C.

I think either mode B or mode C will be most commonly used mode when
guest does need SELinux support in virtiofs.

With these patches, I am able to boot a guest VM with rootfs on virtiofs
and with SELinux enabled in guest. 

Please review.

Thanks
Vivek
