Subject: [PATCH] SELinux: Create a common helper to determine an inode label


Create a common helper function to determine the label for a new inode.
This is then used by:

- may_create()
- selinux_dentry_init_security()
- selinux_inode_init_security()

This will change the behaviour of the functions slightly, bringing them all
into line.

Hmmm...previously we were using d_backing_inode(dentry->d_parent) here.

You're right. In changing between various sorts of dentry and inode I've lost
one of the subtleties.

I also think this should probably be d_inode() not d_backing_inode() since
we're being called by the filesystem that owns the dentry being contemplated.
