Smack: add support for modification of existing rules
Rule modifications are enabled via /smack/change-rule. Format is as follows: "Subject Object rwaxt rwaxt" First two strings are subject and object labels up to 255 characters. Third string contains permissions to enable. Fourth string contains permissions to disable. All unmentioned permissions will be left unchanged. If no rule previously existed, it will be created. Targeted for git://git.gitorious.org/smack-next/kernel.git Signed-off-by: Rafal Krypa <r.krypa@samsung.com>

+ This interface allows modification of existing access control rules.
+ The format accepted on write is:
+ "%s %s %s %s"
+ where the first string is the subject label, the second the
+ object label, the third the access to allow and the fourth the
+ access to deny. The access strings may contain only the characters
+ "rwxat-". If a rule for a given subject and object exists it will be
+ modified by enabling the permissions in the third string and disabling
+ those in the fourth string. If there is no such rule it will be
+ created using the access specified in the third and the fourth strings.
