Add lsm_name_to_attr(), which translates a text string to a
LSM_ATTR value if one is available.

Add lsm_fill_user_ctx(), which fills a struct lsm_ctx, including
the trailing attribute value.

All are used in module specific components of LSM system calls.

We should drop the sentence above now that alignment is the caller's
responsibility, but since that was largely my fault I can fix this up
during the merge assuming you're okay with that Casey.

I have to fix the error in patch 8/11 anyway. I can fix this, too.

Great, thanks.
