SMACK: Add new lock for adding entry in smack master list
"smk_set_access()" function adds a new rule entry in subject label specific
list(rule_list) and in global rule list(smack_rule_list) both. Mutex lock
(rule_lock) is used to avoid simultaneous updates. But this lock is subject
label specific lock. If 2 processes tries to add different rules(i.e with
different subject labels) simultaneously, then both the processes can take
the "rule_lock" respectively. So it will cause a problem while adding
entries in master rule list.
Now a new mutex lock(smack_master_list_lock) has been taken to add entry in
smack_rule_list to avoid simultaneous updates of different rules.
