lsm: Add LSM hook security_unix_find

Add an LSM hook security_unix_find.

This hook is called to check the path of a named UNIX socket before a
connection is initiated. The peer socket may be inspected as well.

Why existing hooks are unsuitable:

Existing socket hooks, security_unix_stream_connect(),
security_unix_may_send(), and security_socket_connect() don't provide
TOCTOU-free / namespace independent access to the paths of sockets.

(1) We cannot resolve the path from the struct sockaddr in existing hooks.
This requires another path lookup. A change in the path between the
two lookups will cause a TOCTOU bug.

(2) We cannot use the struct path from the listening socket, because it
may be bound to a path in a different namespace than the caller,
resulting in a path that cannot be referenced at policy creation time.

Consumers of the hook wishing to reference @other are responsible
for acquiring the unix_state_lock and checking for the SOCK_DEAD flag
therein, ensuring the socket hasn't died since lookup.
