[GIT PULL] Smack additional patch for v5.11

From: Casey Schaufler
Date: Tue Dec 22 2020 - 19:44:19 EST


Hello Linus

Sorry for the 2nd pull request, but this is a fairly important fix
for the privilege handling of smackfs in the face of io_uring. The
novel use of kernel threads in io_uring invalidated an long standing
assumption regarding the privilege of kernel threads. The fix is
simple and safe. It was provided by Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx>
and has been tested.
