Smack: UDS revision


This patch addresses a number of long standing issues
    with the way Smack treats UNIX domain sockets.

    All access control was being done based on the label of
    the file system object. This is inconsistant with the
    internet domain, in which access is done based on the
    IPIN and IPOUT attributes of the socket. As a result
    of the inode label policy it was not possible to use
    a UDS socket for label cognizant services, including
    dbus and the X11 server.

    Support for SCM_PEERSEC on UDS sockets is also provided.
