Don't use the cred->security pointer directly.
Provide a helper function that provides the security blob pointer.

Domain transition so far have been largely blocked by no new privs,
unless the transition has been provably a subset of the previous
confinement. There was a couple problems with the previous
implementations,
- transitions that weren't explicitly a stack but resulted in a subset
of confinement were disallowed
- confinement subsets were only calculated from the previous
confinement instead of the confinement being enforced at the time of
no new privs, so transitions would have to get progressively
tighter.
Fix this by detecting and storing a reference to the task's
confinement at the "time" no new privs is set. This reference is then
used to determine whether a transition is a subsystem of the
confinement at the time no new privs was set.
Unfortunately the implementation is less than ideal in that we have to
detect no new privs after the fact when a task attempts a domain
transition. This is adequate for the currently but will not work in a
stacking situation where no new privs could be conceivably be set in
both the "host" and in the container.

Now that file contexts have been moved into file, and task context
fns() and data have been split from the context, only the cred context
remains in context.h so rename to cred.h to better reflect what it
deals with.
