From: Jianping Liu <frankjpliu@tencent.com>
cachefiles_daemon_secctx() returns -EINVAL when a security context has
already been set. The same errno is used for an empty argument, so
userspace cannot tell the two failures apart.
Return -EEXIST instead, as cachefiles_daemon_dir() and
cachefiles_daemon_tag() do when their setting has already been given.
Fixes: 8667d434b2a9 ("cachefiles: Register a miscdev and parse commands over it")
