Prevent userspace from changing the the /proc/PID/attr values if the
task's credentials are currently overriden.  This not only makes sense
conceptually, it also prevents some really bizarre error cases caused
when trying to commit credentials to a task with overridden
credentials.

I sent this to the LSM list as I figure it should probably go via
James' linux-security tree since it is cross-LSM and doesn't really
contain any LSM specific code.  That said, if you don't want this
James let me know and I'll send it via the SELinux tree assuming I can
get ACKs from John and Casey (this should only affect SELinux,
AppArmor, and Smack).

This is fine to go via your tree.

Okay.  I just merged this into selinux/next.  I was sitting on this
patch to see how the other thread developed, but that doesn't really
seem to be reaching any conclusion and I really want this to get at
least one week in -next before the merge window opens.

Thanks everyone.
