nbd: override creds to kernel when calling sock_{send,recv}msg()
sock_{send,recv}msg() internally calls security_socket_{send,recv}msg(),
which does security checks (e.g. SELinux) for socket access against the
current task. However, _sock_xmit() in drivers/block/nbd.c may be called
indirectly from a userspace syscall, where the NBD socket access would
be incorrectly checked against the calling userspace task (which simply
tries to read/write a file that happens to reside on an NBD device).
To fix this, temporarily override creds to kernel ones before calling
the sock_*() functions. This allows the security modules to recognize
this as internal access by the kernel, which will normally be allowed.
A way to trigger the issue is to do the following (on a system with
SELinux set to enforcing):
### Create nbd device:
truncate -s 256M /tmp/testfile
nbd-server localhost:10809 /tmp/testfile
### Connect to the nbd server:
nbd-client localhost
### Create mdraid array
mdadm --create -l 1 -n 2 /dev/md/testarray /dev/nbd0 missing
After these steps, assuming the SELinux policy doesn't allow the
unexpected access pattern, errors will be visible on the kernel console:

The corresponding SELinux denial on Fedora/RHEL will look like this
(assuming it's not silenced):
