Avoid use of untrusted security labels when s_user_ns !=
init_user_ns:
 - smk_fetch: refuse to read labels from disk
 - smack_inode_init_security: return -ENOTSUPP
 - smack_d_instantiate: don't use security xattrs from disk

I do not like this at all at all. Pretending that Smack
doesn't exist in a user namespace can lead to all sorts
of blatant security violations, both while the filesystem
is mounted in the namespace and in the init namespace.
