security: Add a hook for the point of notification insertion
Add a security hook that allows an LSM to rule on whether a notification message is allowed to be inserted into a particular watch queue. The hook is given the following information: (1) The credentials of the triggerer (which may be init_cred for a system notification, eg. a hardware error). (2) The credentials of the whoever set the watch. (3) The notification message.
