    security: Add a hook for the point of notification insertion · 344fa64e
    David Howells authored
    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.
