lsm: add helper for blob allocations

Create a helper function lsm_blob_alloc() for general use in the hook
specific functions that allocate LSM blobs. Change the hook specific
functions to use this helper. This reduces the code size by a small
amount and will make adding new instances of infrastructure managed
security blobs easier.
