[PATCH] BSD Secure Levels: claim block dev in file struct rather than inode struct, 2.6.11-rc2-mm1 (3/8)

This is the third in a series of eight patches to the BSD Secure
Levels LSM. It moves the claim on the block device from the inode
struct to the file struct in order to address a potential
circumvention of the control via hard links to block devices. Thanks
to Serge Hallyn for pointing this out.
