Roman Kubiak 41a2d57516 Kernel threads excluded from smack checks
Adds an ignore case for kernel tasks,
so that they can access all resources.

Since kernel worker threads are spawned with
floor label, they are severely restricted by
Smack policy. It is not an issue without onlycap,
as these processes also run with root,
so CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE kicks in. But with onlycap
turned on, there is no way to change the label
for these processes.
