smack: implement logging V3

the following patch, add logging of Smack security decisions.
This is of course very useful to understand what your current smack policy does.
As suggested by Casey, it also now forbids labels with ', " or \

It introduces a '/smack/logging' switch :
0: no logging
1: log denied (default)
2: log accepted
3: log denied&accepted

+If you want Smack auditing of security events, you need to set CONFIG_AUDIT

+By default, all denied events will be audited. You can change this behavior by
+writing a single character to the /smack/logging file :
+0 : no logging
+1 : log denied (default)
+2 : log accepted
+3 : log denied & accepted

+Events are logged as 'key=value' pairs, for each event you at least will get

+that triggered the event, plus other pairs depending on the type of event
