Avoid memory allocation while opening smackfs files. #72

Closed rafal-krypa closed 11 years ago

rafal-krypa commented 11 years ago

Using openat() on pre-opened smackfs directory eliminates need to construct absolute path to a smackfs file before opening it.

This patch is very similar to 0426039, so maybe I missed some shortcomings that should be improved. Differences:

Fixed verify_smackmnt() returning 0 and not setting smackfs_mnt when a read-only smackfs is found.
Dropped changes to utils/common.c. This part caused a build break and led to exporting of internal libsmack variable to external program.
