Subject: [PATCH net v3 0/2] security: fixups for the security hooks in sctp

This is a third round of patches to fix the SCTP-SELinux interaction
w.r.t. client-side peeloff. The patches are a modified version of Xin
Long's patches posted previously, of which only a part was merged (the
rest was merged for a while, but was later reverted):
https://lore.kernel.org/selinux/[email protected]/T/

In gist, these patches replace the call to
security_inet_conn_established() in SCTP with a new hook
security_sctp_assoc_established() and implement the new hook in SELinux
so that the client-side association labels are set correctly (which
matters in case the association eventually gets peeled off into a
separate socket).

Note that other LSMs than SELinux don't implement the SCTP hooks nor
inet_conn_established, so they shouldn't be affected by any of these
changes.

These patches were tested by selinux-testsuite [1] with an additional
patch [2] and by lksctp-tools func_tests [3].

Changes since v2:
- patches 1 and 2 dropped as they are already in mainline (not reverted)
- in patch 3, the return value of security_sctp_assoc_established() is
changed to int, the call is moved earlier in the function, and if the
hook returns an error value, the packet will now be discarded,
aborting the association
- patch 4 has been changed a lot - please see the patch description for
details on how the hook is now implemented and why

Actually, that patch no longer applies to the current master. Please
refer to this rebased version instead:
