LSM: Helpers for attribute names and filling lsm_ctx

Add lsm_name_to_attr(), which translates a text string to a
LSM_ATTR value if one is available.

Add lsm_fill_user_ctx(), which fills a struct lsm_ctx, including
the trailing attribute value.

Both are used in module specific components of LSM system calls.
