TOMOYO security module is designed to use "struct task_struct"->security
in order to allow per "struct task_struct" tracking without being disturbed
by unable to update "struct cred"->security due to override mechanism.

Now that infrastructure-managed security blob is ready, this patch updates
TOMOYO to use "struct task_struct"->security.

Could you use tomoyo_task() instead of tomoyo_security()?
To the extent that it's been possible I've worked to add
consistency in the security modules, and this breaks it.

Possible. But tomoyo_task() might be more confusing because it sounds like
"struct task_struct" when it actually returns "struct task_struct"->security.

Isn't tomoyo_task_security() better if I rename?

Do you want me to rename

/* Structure for "struct task_struct"->security. */
struct tomoyo_security {
	struct tomoyo_domain_info *domain_info;
	struct tomoyo_domain_info *old_domain_info;
};

to "struct tomoyo_task" or "struct tomoyo_task_security" as well?

To my mind that just adds a _security suffix in a place where
we pretty well know you're doing something about security. I
used the <lsm>_<blob>() convention in part because it was usually
no longer than referencing the blob. smack_cred(cred) isn't
much longer than cred->security, whereas smack_cred_blob()
or smack_cred_security_blob() would be. I admit that I'm
looking at it from the viewpoint of someone who cares more about
how security modules are structured in general than I am in
how a specific module works.

In the end it's your code, but I hate to see divergence so
soon after I put a bit of order in place.

tomoyo_task would be my choice. Again, isn't appending _security
to things just adding keystrokes?
