[patch 1/1] selinux: Disable setxattr on mountpoint labeledfilesystems

[Stephen Smalley]

This patch disables the setting of SELinux xattrs on files created in
filesystems labeled via mountpoint labeling (mounted with the context=
option).  selinux_inode_setxattr already prevents explicit setxattr from
userspace on such filesystems, so this provides consistent behavior for
file creation.  Please apply, for 2.6.15 if possible.
