         *          'break' will not work as expected - use goto instead.

Add a new security hook definition for the sys_ioprio_get operation.  At
present, the SELinux hook function implementation for this hook is
identical to the getscheduler implementation but a separate hook is
introduced to allow this check to be specialized in the future if
necessary.

This patch also creates a helper function get_task_ioprio which handles the
access check in addition to retrieving the ioprio value for the task.

Implement an LSM hook for setting a task's IO priority, similar to the hook
for setting a tasks's nice value.

A previous version of this LSM hook was included in an older version of
multiadm by Jan Engelhardt, although I don't recall it being submitted
upstream.

Also included is the corresponding SELinux hook, which re-uses the setsched
permission in the proccess class.

It has all the normal priority inversion problems.

- Make ioprio syscalls return long, like set/getpriority syscalls.
- Move function prototypes into syscalls.h so we can pick them up in the
  32/64bit compat code.

This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
v3).  It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes.  It
supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls.  The latter closely mimic
set/getpriority.

This import is based on my latest from -mm.
