[PATCH v22 14/23] LSM: Use lsmcontext in security_secid_to_secctx

[Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>]

Replace the (secctx,seclen) pointer pair with a single
lsmcontext pointer to allow return of the LSM identifier
along with the context and context length. This allows
security_release_secctx() to know how to release the
context. Callers have been modified to use or save the
returned data from the new structure.
