Thanks Richard for putting together the v2 of this patch.

As far as the test is concerned, it seems like the quick-n-dirty fix
is to simply remove the ioctl(FIOCLEX) test in test_noioctl.c; is
everyone okay with that? At least that is what I'm going to do with
my local copy that I use to validate the kernel-secnext builds unless
someone has a better patch :)

The break/fallthrough looks like it might be a little more fragile
than necessary, how about something like this:

case FIOCLEX:
case FIONCLEX:
if (!selinux_policycap_ioctl_skip_cloexec())
error = ioctl_has_perm(cred, file, FILE__IOCTL, (u16) cmd);
break;

Yes, it does duplicate the default ioctl_has_perm() call, but since we
are effectively deprecating this and locking the FIOCLEX/FIONCLEX
behavior with this policy capability it seems okay to me (and
preferable to relying on the fallthrough).

Thoughts?
