    Add NetLabel support to the SELinux LSM and modify the
    socket_post_create() LSM hook to return an error code.  The most
    significant part of this patch is the addition of NetLabel hooks into
    the following SELinux LSM hooks:
    
     * selinux_file_permission()
     * selinux_socket_sendmsg()
     * selinux_socket_post_create()
     * selinux_socket_sock_rcv_skb()
     * selinux_socket_getpeersec_stream()
     * selinux_socket_getpeersec_dgram()
     * selinux_sock_graft()
     * selinux_inet_conn_request()
    
    The basic reasoning behind this patch is that outgoing packets are
    "NetLabel'd" by labeling their socket and the NetLabel security
    attributes are checked via the additional hook in
    selinux_socket_sock_rcv_skb().  NetLabel itself is only a labeling
    mechanism, similar to filesystem extended attributes, it is up to the
    SELinux enforcement mechanism to perform the actual access checks.
    
    In addition to the changes outlined above this patch also includes
    some changes to the extended bitmap (ebitmap) and multi-level security
    (mls) code to import and export SELinux TE/MLS attributes into and out
    of NetLabel.
