The security_task_getsecid_subj() LSM hook invites misuse by allowing
callers to specify a task even though the hook is only safe when the
current task is referenced.  Fix this by removing the task_struct
argument to the hook, requiring LSM implementations to use the
current task.  While we are changing the hook declaration we also
rename the function to security_current_getsecid_subj() in an effort
to reinforce that the hook captures the subjective credentials of the
current task and not an arbitrary task on the system.

I never saw any comments, positive or negative, on this patch so I'll
plan on merging it early next week.  If you've got objections, now is
the time to speak up.
It's OK by me.

Thanks Casey.  Are you okay with the AppArmor tweak mentioned by Serge and John?
