Subject: [PATCH] selinux: consilidate comments from inode_doinit_with_dentry wrt !dentry

Instead of having the same big comment twice for the same scenario,
just have it in out_invalid.

Hi Davidlohr,

Thanks for the patch, but I think the comment is a bit more
discoverable/helpful when it is integrated into the main flow of the
code and not the error handling at the bottom. However, if you wanted
to change the second instance to refer to the prior instance I think
that would be okay.
