    SMACK: Add new lock for adding entry in smack master list · 2e962e2f
    Vishal Goel authored
    "smk_set_access()" function adds a new rule entry in subject label specific
    list(rule_list) and in global rule list(smack_rule_list) both. Mutex lock
    (rule_lock) is used to avoid simultaneous updates. But this lock is subject
    label specific lock. If 2 processes tries to add different rules(i.e with
    different subject labels) simultaneously, then both the processes can take
    the "rule_lock" respectively. So it will cause a problem while adding
    entries in master rule list.
    Now a new mutex lock(smack_master_list_lock) has been taken to add entry in
    smack_rule_list to avoid simultaneous updates of different rules.
