[NetLabel]: core NetLabel subsystem

Add a new kernel subsystem, NetLabel, to provide explicit packet
labeling services (CIPSO, RIPSO, etc.) to LSM developers.  NetLabel is
designed to work in conjunction with a LSM to intercept and decode
security labels on incoming network packets as well as ensure that
outgoing network packets are labeled according to the security
mechanism employed by the LSM.  The NetLabel subsystem is configured
through a Generic NETLINK interface described in the header files
included in this patch.

+ * The following NetLabel payloads are supported by the Unlabeled subsystem.
+ *
+ * o ACK:
+ *   Sent by the kernel in response to an applications message, applications
+ *   should never send this message.
+ *
+ *   +----------------------+-----------------------+
+ *   | seq number (32 bits) | return code (32 bits) |
+ *   +----------------------+-----------------------+
+ *
+ *     seq number:  the sequence number of the original message, taken from the
+ *                  nlmsghdr structure
+ *     return code: return value, based on errno values
+ *
+ * o ACCEPT
+ *   This message is sent from an application to specify if the kernel should
+ *   allow unlabled packets to pass if they do not match any of the static
+ *   mappings defined in the unlabeled module.
+ *
+ *   +-----------------+
+ *   | allow (32 bits) |
+ *   +-----------------+
+ *
+ *     allow: if true (1) then allow the packets to pass, if false (0) then
+ *            reject the packets
+ *
+ * o LIST
+ *   This message can be sent either from an application or by the kernel in
+ *   response to an application generated LIST message.  When sent by an
+ *   application there is no payload.  The kernel should respond to a LIST
+ *   message either with a LIST message on success or an ACK message on
+ *   failure.
+ *
+ *   +-----------------------+
+ *   | accept flag (32 bits) |
+ *   +-----------------------+
+ *
+ *     accept flag: if true (1) then unlabeled packets are allowed to pass,
+ *                  if false (0) then unlabeled packets are rejected
