Yep, think upgrading the sensitivity level, e.g. relabeling a "secret" file up
to a "top secret".

Actually, after thinking on this some more, forget I mentioned anything. The
existing "copy_up" makes the most sense for the LSM hook (it matches the
naming of the caller in overlayfs, which is a nice thing) and the number of
times any MLS will look that closely at the kernel code is going to be very
few.
