[RFC] security: smack: add hash table for smack for quick labelsearching

[Tomasz Stanislawski]

This patch adds a hash table to quicken searching of a smack label by its name.

For a typical idle for TIZEN the CPU wastes circa 5-10% of its cycles for
processing the smk_find_entry function. This patch adds a hash map that should
speed up searches by a factor of up to 500 at the cost of additional 4kiB
memory for the hash table.
