    Adds security_get_sb_mnt_opts, security_set_sb_mnt_opts, and
    security_clont_sb_mnt_opts to the LSM and to SELinux.  This will allow
    filesystems to directly own and control all of their mount options if they
    so choose.  This interface deals only with option identifiers and strings so
    it should generic enough for any LSM which may come in the future.
    
    Filesystems which pass text mount data around in the kernel (almost all of
    them) need not currently make use of this interface when dealing with
    SELinux since it will still parse those strings as it always has.  I assume
    future LSM's would do the same.  NFS is the primary FS which does not use
    text mount data and thus must make use of this interface.
    
    An LSM would need to implement these functions only if they had mount time
    options, such as selinux has context= or fscontext=.  If the LSM has no
    mount time options they could simply not implement and let the dummy ops
    take care of things.
    
    An LSM other than SELinux would need to define new option numbers in
    security.h and any FS which decides to own there own security options would
    need to be patched to use this new interface for every possible LSM.  This
    is because it was stated to me very clearly that LSM's should not attempt to
    understand FS mount data and the burdon to understand security should be in
    the FS which owns the options.
