[PATCH 2/2] hijack: update task_alloc_security

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] hijack: update task_alloc_security

Update task_alloc_security() to take the hijacked task as a second
argument.

For the selinux version, refuse permission if hijack_src!=current,
since we have no idea what the proper behavior is.  Even if we
assume that the resulting child should be in the hijacked task's
domain, depending on the policy that may not be enough information
since init_t executing /bin/bash could result in a different domain
than login_t executing /bin/bash.
