smack: parse mnt opts after privileges check
In smack_set_mnt_opts()first the SMACK mount options are being parsed and later it is being checked whether the user calling mount has CAP_MAC_ADMIN capability. This sequence of operationis will allow unauthorized user to add SMACK labels in label list and may cause denial of security attack by adding many labels by allocating kernel memory by unauthorized user. Superblock smack flag is also being set as initialized though function may return with EPERM error. First check the capability of calling user then set the SMACK attributes and smk_flags.
