So, this won't make v6.12 anymore. There already were pretty big changes
around files for the coming cycle so I did not also want to throw this
into the mix as well. (Sorry that this had to miss it's birthday, Alice.)

However, I do intend to merge a version for this for v6.13. There's some
wrapping of struct cred and specifically of struct secctx that I can
only handwave at. Ideally you get a nod from the LSM maintainers as well
but if that doesn't come in I don't see much point in making this sit in
limbo indefinitely.
