Create testcase for p9auth kernel module: The p9auth module is a driver in the staging/ directory, which implements kernel functionality supporting plan 9-style setuid. Programs can be completely unprivileged, authorize themselves to a privileged server, and obtain a token which they can use to authorize a single setuid to a single specified new uid. This testcase runs three tests:
1. make sure we can't setuid without a hash (this is actually short-cut in the kernel code so it might be worthwhile having a separate test for having a hash, but an invalid one),
2. make sure we can setuid when there is a valid hash,
3. make sure we cannot setuid if there is a valid hash, but our original uid isn't the one specified in the token.
Changelog:
